The Folger Library Edition of The Works of Richard Hooker

Discover the profound insights of one of the most influential theologians of the late 16th century, Richard Hooker, in "The Folger Library Edition of The Works of Richard Hooker," published by Harvard University Press in 1990. This comprehensive hardback edition spans an impressive 976 pages, presenting a detailed exploration of Hooker’s thought. While he is best known today for his "Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity," it was his Tractates and Sermons that garnered significant attention during his lifetime.

This work not only highlights his intellectual legacy but also invites readers to engage with the themes that continue to resonate in contemporary religious discussions.
