Description:
Hardback. New. We turn to Richard Hooker to understand the intellectual background of the Renaissance. He sets forth in his writing the ethical, political, and religious assumptions of his age. This magnificent old-spelling edition of Hooker's works has long been needed, and is being greeted with universal admiration. Volume Four presents the text of the first and only major attack on the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity-namely, A Christian Letter, 1599-with Hooker's marginal notes made on his own copy of the Letter; and the more extensive essays which he left in manuscript, written in preparation for a published reply. The importance of these notes and essays lies in their expansion of some of the more controversial points made in the Laws, and in the light they shed on Hooker, his personality, method, and sources. John Booty's Introduction and substantial commentary place Hooker's arguments firmly in their historical and theological contexts.

The Folger Library Edition of the Works of Richard Hooker Hardcover - 1981
by Richard Hooker; John E. Booty (Editor); W. Speed Hill (Editor)
From the rear cover
The texts that make up this volume record the immediate reception of the first five books of the Lawes. A Christian Letter remains the only work, in its day or ours, entirely devoted to the refutation of Hooker's Lawes. Hooker's autograph notes, together with the single folio an the 'Fragments' at Dublin, are all but unique in the controversial literature of the age, for we rarely possess material of this sort from the sixteenth century.
