Zusatztext Voak's book is a remarkable piece of academic research and it is undoubtedly a must see not only for those interested in Richard Hooker but also any theological student. Informationen zum Autor Nigel Voak is a researcher based in London. Klappentext Richard Hooker (1554-1600) is one of the greatest theologians of the Church of England. In the light of fierce recent debate, this book argues vigorously against the new orthodoxy that Hooker was a Reformed or Calvinist theologian. In so doing it considers such central religious questions as human freedom, original sin, whether people can deserve salvation, and the nature of religious authority.
