{"product_id":"richard-hooker-theological-method-and-anglican-identity-9780567708038","title":"Richard Hooker: Theological Method and Anglican Identity","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor some, Hooker and Anglicanism are basically reformed; for others, fundamentally Catholic; for some embodying a 'middle way' between Roman Catholic and Protestant extremes; and for others simply confused and incoherent.\u003c\/b\u003e This book challenges those perceptions by showing that 'reformed' and 'catholic' are not intrinsically opposed. Reading Hooker alongside a representative theologian of each tradition (the 'catholic' Aquinas and the 'reformed' Calvin) on theological method, Hobday shows there is much greater congruity between theologies and theologians often considered in tension. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn the role of scripture in theology, the theological capacity of human reason, and the place of tradition, these 3 theologians have far more in common than many subsequent commentators have understood. This book shows how both Hooker and the Anglicanism he defended in such elegant prose, can be coherently both 'catholic' and 'reformed' (rather than one, or the other, or some middle way). Relocating Hooker, and Anglicanism, in this way reveals them to be rich, fruitful conversation partners in ecumenical dialogue and theological debates across Christian traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip Hobday\u003c\/b\u003e is Sub-Dean of Wakefield Cathedral, UK.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"T\u0026T Clark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50394577338642,"sku":"9780567708038","price":131.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_e18d2675-4de1-40b6-93f4-d26ef743cf68.jpg?v=1729010036","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/richard-hooker-theological-method-and-anglican-identity-9780567708038","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
