Andrea Russell

Richard Hooker, Beyond Certainty (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In spite of the differing interpretations, there have been several beliefs about Hooker and his work that have remained virtually unchallenged throughout the centuries. This volume questions three of these beliefs. The first to be challenged is the fundamental belief that Hooker is attached securely to the English Church and that their identities are so interwoven that to speak of one is to speak of the other. Secondly, that Hooker's prose can be ignored in the process of assessing his theology. Finally, the widely-held belief that, as the 'champion of reason', Hooker's faith is essentially rational and that God is perceived and experienced primarily through the intellect. Challenging the truth of each of these statements leads to an uncertainty about Hooker which, rather than negating scholarship, allows research to be liberated from the dominance of categorisation.
