Richard Hooker and the Vision of God: Exploring the Origins of 'Anglicanism'
‘[…] it is good to welcome this clearly written and thorough account and appraisal of Hooker’s work […]. This is a book I would commend warmly to all interested in Hooker’s legacy and its potential use in current ecumenical debate and relationships.’ (David CarterChurches Together in England)‘Charles Miller presents what is essentially a more systematic and concise exposition of Hooker’s Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity than the author himself ever managed. […] [Hooker’s] own thought, substantial yet undogmatic, should be better known by Anglican clergy and ordinands. His teaching on the need to deploy reason in exposition of Scripture remains especially pertinent. Because Hooker wrote in paragraphs, not sentences, Miller’s guide, although descriptive, could spread understanding of his work effectively.’ (David GrumettTimes Literary Supplement)[A] splendid monograph on the theology of Richard Hooker and its relevance to the origins of Anglicanism […] This book is a veritable feast for the theologically hungry. (Torrance KirbyInternational Journal for the Study of the Christian Church1900-01-00)Miller works extensively with the most recent and most influential scholarship in the field of Hooker studies and manages to do so while also providing his own take on Hooker’s theology as he describes it under each topic heading…Miller is to be commended for his clear and succinct summarises of both Hooker’s own writing and also of the secondary literature available by which to interpret Hooker…this work will prove to be a helpful reference point for new and continuing students of the ideas of Richard Hooker.
