  • Adaptations of Hooker by Shakespeare and Voegelin
    The Pneumopathology of the Puritan: Adaptations of Hooker by Shakespeare and Voegelin Copyright 2003 Jeffrey Tessier In The New Science of Politics as well as in The History of Political Ideas, Voegelin comes to his analysis of Puritanism by way of Richard Hooker, focusing in part on Hooker's account of the psychological techniques through which Puritanism advanced its cause. While mindful of Hooker's shortcomings as a philosopher, Voegelin praises and relies on his diagnostic acumen. His analysis of "the psychological mechanism that is put into operation in the creation of mass movements"1 [1] is as useful now for understanding modern gnostic movements as it was then in analysing the radical response to the emergent Anglican ecclesiastical order. It was Hooker's insight into the psychological origins and political consequences of the Puritan movement that enabled him to present the mechanism by which the Puritans would implement on a mass scale the desire of the movement's egomaniacal members that their private will be established as the public will, a revolution which would destroy the reality of and hope for the common weal of the nation.2 [2] 1 [1] Eric Voegelin, The Collected Works of Eric Voegelin, vol. 23, History of Political Ideas, vol. 5: Religion and the Rise of Modernity, ed. James L. Wiser (Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 1998), 94-5. 2 [2] Ibid, 98. In his discussion of Hooker, Voegelin draws attention to an interesting problem. If the Puritans are as Hooker says they are, then the deformed condition of their souls makes them immune to the sort of persuasive speech that characterises his writing.

  • Anglican Principles for Liturgical Revision
    ATR/92:3 Expressing What Christians Believe: Anglican Principles for Liturgical Revision J. Barrington Bates* What principles have guided liturgical revision in the Anglican Communion? This essay attempts to address that question for each of four historical periods, as well as offer suggestions for fu- ture revision. The author asserts that we cannot simply forge ahead with more experimental texts and trial liturgies if we truly endeavor both to value the inherited tradition and to move where the Spirit is leading us. By working toward a shared understand- ing of principles for liturgical revision, the Episcopal Church and other entities in the Anglican Communion can potentially avoid fractious conflict, produce better quality liturgical texts, and foster confidence that we are following divine guidance. “Liturgy expresses what Christians believe. To change the liturgy therefore runs the risk of changing doctrine—or at least those doctrines which worshippers regularly hear and absorb and which become part of their Christian identity.”1 Since the formal establishment of a separate identity for the Church of England from that of Rome in the sixteenth century, the various church entities that now form the Anglican Communion have made numerous revisions to their liturgy. What principles have guided these efforts? This essay attempts to address that question for each of four historical periods: (1) the reforms of the sixteenth cen- tury, focusing on the claims made by Thomas Cranmer and Richard * J. Barrington Bates currently serves as rector of the Church of the Annunciation in Oradell, New Jersey (www.annunciationoradell.org). He holds a Ph.D. in liturgical studies from Drew University, as well as master’s degrees from the Church Divin- ity School of the Pacific, the Graduate Theological Union, the General Theological Seminary, and Drew.

  • 'Law Makes the King': Richard Hooker on Law Andprincely Rule
    18 ‘Law Makes the King’: Richard Hooker on Law and Princely Rule Thnailce Kirby Much of Richard hookers (1554—4600) career was spent in theological controversy concerning the constitutional provisions of the Elizabethan Settlement of 1559 (Kirby 2008: 1—26). In his capacity as Master of the Temple in the Inns of Court, Ih)oker preached a series of sermons in the mid- 1 580s on some of the central themes of Ref ormation theology, including A Lea,’ntd I)iscoiirse OJJJ/StlJIcatlon, an influential piece on the doctrine of faith and salvation first published in 1612 (Hooker 1977—90: 5:83ff.). Hooker’s orthodoxy was formally challenged by the disciplinarian Puritan divine Walter Travers in A Supplication made to the Privy Council: he sharply challenged Hooker’s strong appeal to the authority of reason and natural law in religious and ecclesiastical matters as inconsistent with the chief tenets of reformed doctrinal ortho doxy (Hooker 1977—90: 5: 261—9). Hookers formal Answer (Ilooker 1977—90: 5:227—57) to Travurs’s objections laid the groundwork of the philosophical and theo logical system, which he expounded, in considerably greater detail, in his treatise of 3, From the outset the question of the the 1590s, Of the Laws of Eccleiiastical Pout consistency of Hooker’s defence of the ‘Erastian’’ presuppositions of the Elizabethan religious settlement with his theological Premises — more specifically on the question of the unification of civil and ecclesiastical jurisdiction in the Crown — lay at the very heart of these disputes.

  • Michaelmas Term 2018 Chapel Services and Music MAGDALEN
    Michaelmas Term 2018 Chapel Services and Music MAGDALEN COLLEGE OXFORD COVER IMAGE: DETAIL FROM MAGDALEN COLLEGE MS LAT 223, GOSPEL LECTIONARY COMMISSIONED BY CARDINAL WOLSEY (1529, LONDON) We welcome you to our worshipping community at Magdalen. Prayer and praise have been offered to God in this place since the fifteenth century, when the College was founded by William of Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester. The statutes of 1480 make provision for a Choir comprising sixteen boy Choristers and a number of adult Clerks, ‘that the worship of God, from whom all good things come, might be increased more widely and better sustained’. That tradition continues unchanged today. The Choirmaster at Magdalen retains the ancient Latin title Informator Choristarum, and among those who have held the post over the centuries are John Sheppard, Daniel Purcell, Sir John Stainer, Sir William McKie, and, in more recent years, Dr Bernard Rose. It is the aim of the Dean of Divinity and the Informator Choristarum that all our services here should be dedicated to the glory of God. Our music is not an end in itself but part of a larger whole. We hope that in the singing and in the silence, in the spoken word and in the beauty of this house of God, you will feel that greater presence, and be blessed by the peace that passes all understanding. MARK WILLIAMS JONATHAN ARNOLD Informator Choristarum Dean of Divinity MICHAELMAS TERM Choral Services Services are normally sung by Magdalen College Choir (men and boys). Evensong on Saturdays is normally sung by Magdalen Consort of Voices (men and women).

  • Anglicans and the Interpretation of Scripture
    Southwark Cathedral Lecture July 3rd 2008 ANGLICANS AND THE INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE INTRODUCTION – BIBLE, BELIEF AND WORSHIP Original title: “The Anglican Understanding and Use of Scripture” I queried the use of “the” and the singular (in “understanding and use”). I was always taught that Anglicans have no separate doctrine and belief – this is rather a commonly repeated tenet of Anglicans. Archbishop Geoffrey Fisher: “We have no doctrine of our own – we only possess the Catholic doctrine of the Catholic Church enshrined in the Catholic creeds and those creeds we hold without addition or diminution.”1 Bishop Stephen Neil: “There are no special Anglican doctrines, there is no particular Anglican theology.”2 This view was challenged by Bishop Stephen Sykes in an essay originally written for the Lambeth Conference of 1988 and reprinted his Unashamed Anglicanism, in which he argues at least for an Anglican understanding of the church, if not doctrine, which also includes a commitment to the public reading of scripture.3 I would be interested to know how Canon Jane Steen’s lecture handled this topic of Anglican Belief last week! (not yet on the website). But at the very least, even granting Bishop Sykes’ point about an Anglican understanding of the church, there is no one, single Anglican doctrine for the understanding and use of scripture. Furthermore, the use of the singular “scripture” itself is somewhat problematic. After all, ta biblia in Greek, the word which gives us our singular word ‘Bible’, is actually plural, and means ‘the books’ so the phrase, “the scriptures” is a much better translation of ta biblia – and recognizes the essential plurality of the scriptures, namely that the Bible is a library containing some 66 books, written in several different languages, in a variety of literary genres and types (narrative, poetry, drama, prophetic oracles, biographies, letters and so forth) over a period 1 G.F.

  • Richard Hooker: Beyond Certainty
    Richard Hooker: Beyond Certainty. Andrea Russell, LLB BA MA. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. September 2009 Abstract of Thesis Richard Hooker: Beyond Certainty Andrea Russell This thesis is submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2009. For over four hundred years Richard Hooker has been firmly attached to the Church of England and his life and writings used to promote and preserve that institution’s self-understanding. Consensus as to his theological beliefs and ecclesiastical loyalties has, however, never been reached – even though each generation of scholars has claimed to discover the ‘real’ Richard Hooker. In spite of the differing, and often conflicting interpretations, there have been several constants – beliefs about Hooker and his work that have remained virtually unchallenged throughout the centuries. The aim of this thesis has been to examine three of those aspects and in so doing ascertain whether their truth is more assumed than proven. The first of these assumptions is the fundamental belief that Hooker is attached securely to the English Church and that their identities are so interwoven that to speak of one is to speak of the other. The second is that Hooker’s prose – his unique writing style and powerful rhetoric – can be ignored in the process of determining his theology. And thirdly, the widely-held belief that, as the ‘champion of reason’, Hooker’s faith is essentially rational and that God is perceived and experienced primarily through the intellect. Challenging the truth of each of these statements leads to an uncertainty about Hooker that, rather than negating scholarship, allows research to be liberated from the dominance of categorisation.

  • 416 Torrance Kirby (Ed.), a Companion to Richard Hooker, With
    416 Book Reviews / Ecclesiology 8 (2012) 389–420 Torrance Kirby (ed.), A Companion to Richard Hooker, with a Foreword by Rowan Williams (Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2008) xxxviii + 670 pp. €142.00/$197.00. ISBN 978-90-04-16534-2 (hbk). ‘Learned’, ‘judicious’, ‘incomparable’ – these are a few of the superlatives that have been applied to Richard Hooker (1553/4-1600). Hooker, the author of Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity in eight books – which is about a great deal more in heaven and earth than the structures and organisation of the Church – is the prime architect of what became Anglican ecclesiology. Hooker has been credited with inventing Anglicanism and its supposed ‘middle way’. But as Diarmaid MacCulloch points out in this collection of essays on various aspects of Hooker’s work, Hooker does not use the term ‘Anglicanism’ and no-where speaks of a via media. However, Hooker remains a primary source of the recognisably Anglican ideology that emerges in the mid-seventeenth century and also something of a precedent since his work contains intimations of the later platform. Hooker has also been claimed as the father of Anglican moral theology: this aspect of his thought is not covered in this volume, though it should have been, but it has recently been exhaustively examined by Alison Joyce in Richard Hooker and Anglican Moral Theology (Oxford University Press, 2012). Hooker’s authorial persona – mild and non-polemical, irenic and recon- ciling – has often been taken at face value, but this is to be taken in. Hooker is a highly effective controversialist who knows how to manipulate his readers to gain his ends.

  • What Has Richard Hooker to Say to Modern Evangelical Anglicanism'?1
    195 ALAN BARTLETT What has Richard Hooker to say to Modern Evangelical Anglicanism'?1 Richard Hooker's relevance to modern evangelical Anglicans is tested by Alan Bartlett in relation to two crucial and controverted areas of Christian life: the Scriptures and church order. With an critical eye particularly on some writers from Reform, Bartlett encourages us to find in Hooker methodological inspiration - humane, faithful and balanced. Introduction Is Richard Hooker an evangelical Anglican hero ? He would be an unlikely choice. He is a reflective thinker rather than a pioneer of the Faith. He dies quietly in his bed, though at a relatively young age, perhaps only forty-six. Worst of all, he is most famous for his controversies with the Puritans,2 to whom many Evangelicals rightly look back as 'giants in the Faith'. 3 But in an era when evangelical Anglicanism I am indebted to the Revd Neil Evans and modern conception of Anglicanism Mr Charles Clapham, both of St John's commonly excludes Puritanism is both a College, and the Revd Dr Chris Knights of distortion of part of our religious history Ashington for advice on this essay.

  • Richard Hooker: the Confident Church of England Reformer*
    Richard Hooker: the Confident Church of England Reformer* David Neelands Trinity College, University of Toronto ABSTRACT: Richard Hooker is generally acknowledged as a critical sixteenth-century figure in the Church of England. He has been claimed by a variety of advocates for positions inside and outside the Church of England and for positions that developed later. An apparently eirenic attitude to Roman Catholics and occasional criticisms of central figures of the Protestant Reformation should not obscure the fact that he was a confident upholder of the Reformation of the Church of England, and that his careful defence of its institutions did not, in his mind, exceed a careful reformed position. His defence provides a platform convenient for ecumenical discussions. Attitude to ‘the Papists’ Hooker’s attitude to ‘the Papists’, was out of the ordinary polemical mode. 1 Walter Travers accused Hooker of preaching “sower leaven” in his sermons at the Temple. This phrase was a code phrase, based on a frequent New Testament allusion to the ambivalent power of yeast both to expand and to “puff up” flour though very small in size, to refer to corrupt pre-Reformation and contemporary Roman Catholic views, particularly on the Pelagian question and the doctrine of justification by faith. In Travers’ mind were, no doubt, the questions of assurance and of Hooker’s notorious view of the two wills in God; Travers and Hooker do not seem to have quarreled on sacramental theology; but principally involved must have been Travers’ conviction that Hooker’s generous view about the possibility of salvation of Roman Catholics compromised the principle of the gratuity of justification.
