- Summary:
- Richard Hooker (1554-1600) is the premier theologian of the Anglican religious tradition. Unfortunately, his defining ideas about virtually every aspect of Anglican faith and worship are no longer accessible to most Christians because of his use of Elizabethan English. This is especially true of his most important religious work: Book Five of the Polity. Dr. Secor has rendered the difficult prose in Book Five into contemporary English, continuing the process of translation begun in his acclaimed The Sermons of Richard Hooker: A Modern Edition (SPCK, 2001).
