Richard Hooker and Reformed Orthodoxy by Scott N. Kindred-Barnes (English) Hardc

Description: Richard Hooker and Reformed Orthodoxy by Scott N. Kindred-Barnes, W. Bradford Littlejohn For over forty years now there has been a steady stream of interest in Richard Hooker. This renaissance in Hooker Studies began with the publication of the Folger Library Edition of the Works of Richard Hooker. With this renaissance has come a growing recognition that it is anachronistic to classify Hooker simply as an Anglican thinker, but as yet, no generally agreed-upon alternative label, or context for his thought, has replaced this older conception; in particular, the question of Hookers Reformed identity remains hotly contested. Given the relatively limited engagement of Hooker scholarship with other branches of Reformation and early modern scholarship to date, there is a growing recognition that Hooker must be evaluated not only against the context of English puritanism and conformism but also in light of his broad international Reformed context. At the same time, it has become clear that, if this is so, scholars of continental Reformed orthodoxy must take stock of Hookers work as one of the landmark theological achievements of the era.This volume aims to facilitate this long-needed conversation, bringing together a wide range of scholars to consider Richard Hookers theology within the full context of late 16th- and early 17th-century Reformed orthodoxy, both in England and on the Continent. The essays seek to bring Hooker into conversation not merely with contemporaries familiar to Hooker scholarship, such as William Perkins, but also with such contemporaries as Jerome Zanchi and Franciscus Junius, predecessors such as Heinrich Bullinger, and successors such as John Davenant, John Owen, and Hugo Grotius. In considering how these successors of Hooker identified themselves in relation to his theology, these essays will also shed light on how Hooker was perceived within 17th-century Reformed circles. The theological topics touched on in the course of these essays include such central issues as the doctrine of Scripture, predestination, Christology, soteriology, the sacraments, and law. It is hoped that these essays will continue to stimulate further research on these important questions among a wide community of scholars. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Review "The book is broadly divided into three sections, treating Hookers historical context and reception, his theological and pastoral method, and his relationship to Reformed orthodoxy. The strengths of the editors approach to these topics lies in the wide range of authors contributing to the book, in their contextual approach to understanding Hooker on his own terms and contexts, and in their comparison of Hookers teachings to the broader stream of historic Reformed theology." --Ryan M.
