Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:In this chapter it will be analyzed the importance of Richard Hooker’s (1554-1600) ideas in the context of Reformation, as those contributed to the definition and assertion of the Church of England’s identity. First, it will focus on a brief account of the context that underlied and influenced the author’s thinking in Queen Elizabeth’s reign. Secondly, it will look at how Hooker defended the Church of England’s objectives and measures and justified his own personal position regarding crucial religious and political issues, by explaining the relationship between Scripture, Reason and Tradition. Therefore, it will also be necessary to understand how those differed from Puritanism on the one hand, and Catholicism on the other. Lastly, there will be a summary of the articulation Hooker established between his theory on Scripture, reason and tradition and the defence of the Elizabethan Reformation, characterized by a via media later named Anglicanism.
