Reading the Bible with Richard Hooker

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Through his helpful commentary, Eppley helps readers navigate the difficult, albeit formative, waters of early modern biblical interpretation. As Eppley shows, the stakes were very high indeed during this period when theological and political order was considered essential to the common good. While the author wisely avoids pulling Hooker and his theological opponents from their historical context and loosely applying them to contemporary debates over the authority of Scripture, Eppley nonetheless demonstrates that Hooker’s theological legacy is relevant to modern Christians who interpret the Bible for church life.”
