About this listen

In this fifth volume of a multi-year translation project by the Davenant Institute, we present key sections from Book V of Hooker’s "Laws," in which Hooker thoroughly yet succinctly lays out the Reformed yet catholic perspective on both Christology and the sacraments. Long regarded as both the theological and rhetorical high point of the "Laws," these chapters provide a survey of the church’s historic teaching on the person of Christ and our union with him, as well as an irenic defense of Reformed distinctives over against the Catholic, Lutheran, and anti-sacramental alternatives.

Yet this is no dry theological tract: Hooker’s descriptions of Christ, baptism, and especially the eucharist are among the most stirring passages penned during the English Reformation. Book V of the "Laws"is as valuable today as it was when first written for the edification of the church, the sharpening of the mind, and the enrichment of the soul.

Excellent to see Hooker made more readily accessible, both in terms of an audio production and the modernisation of his works. The introduction was quiet helpful at clarifying the modernisation process and providing an overview of Hooker and his context. Hookers work itself is well worth the effort, a classic reformed treatment of the sacraments and a call to keep the main thing the main thing, something we still need to heed today. The audio quality was good overall, with the occasional mistake/restart by the narrator that wasn't removed in post production, so it could do with another edit in that regard. But that's small detail. Thank you everyone for making this possible, I look forward to more in the future.
