Three-volume early edition set of The Works of Richard Hooker. "Richard Hooker (1554 - 1600) was an English priest in the Church of England and an influential theologian. He was one of the most important English theologians of the sixteenth century and helped to bring forth the Christian doctrine of Anglicanism. His defense of the role of redeemed reason informed the theology of the seventeenth-century Caroline Divines and later provided many members of the Church of England with a theological method which combined the claims of revelation, reason and tradition."
