Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity Although Richard Hooker was a representative Elizabethan in the scope of his mind and out look, he so contrived to unite and hold In a real equilibrium a deep sympathy with the three great spiritual currents of his time, that: Low Churchmen, High Churchmen and Broad 4 Churchmen can all find themselves In Hooker' s work today. It is a work that makes topical appeal with the attention now being paid to the work of the World Council of Churches, and the furtherance of the Ecumenical movement. Hooker's great Elizabethan guide to Church Government and Discipline is therefore both a masterpiece of English prose and one of the bulwarks of the Established Church in England. Hooker projected eight books for the great work. The first four books of Ecclesiastical Polity appeared in I 593, Book V in 1 597. Hooker died in 1600 at the age of forty-six; the remaining three books were completed, though not revised, before his death. The manuscripts fell into careless or unscrupulous hands and were not published until long afterwards (1648 to and then only In mutilated form.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity: Books I. IV Richard hooker was born at Heavitree, now a suburb of Exeter, about the year 1553. His parents were poor, but he had an Uncle John, who was Chamberlain of Exeter, a man fairly well-to-do, who cared about his nephew. The nephew was to have been apprenticed to a trade, but his schoolmaster spoke with enthusiasm of the thoughtful spirit of study that lay hidden in this pupil under a slow manner, of the clear mind in the half-sickly body, and urged that he should have at least a, year of college work for further trial of his worth. Uncle John turned for advice to John Jewel, another Devonshire man, who was then Bishop of Salisbury. Jewel saw the school master, and saw the boy, and saw that the judgment 0f the schoolmaster was right. He helped John Hooker to send his nephew, at the age of fifteen, to Corpus Christi College, Oxford, watched his progress, and became enthusi asric in praise of his quiet piety, and the steadiness with which he made his way good as a scholar. Jewel's praise of the youth to Edwin Sandys, Bishop of London, caused Sandys to send his son to Oxford instead of to Cambridge, which had been his own University, that he might have guidance from Hooker as a companion and tutor. Other pupils also sought him, and regarded him with strong affection. He took his degree of m.a. In 1577, and obtained a Fellowship at his College.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Book I of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity: Edited by R. W. Church Richard Hooker was born, according to Izaak Walton, at Heavitree near Exeter, about the year 1553. Mr. Keble found no record of him in the register books of Heavitree, nor in those of the Cathedral, or St. Mary Major in Exeter; and the best data for fixing the year of his birth seem to be supplied by the President's register, at Corpus Christi College in Oxford. From two entries in this it would appear that he was born about Easter-time, in what we should call 1554d: that is, according to the old division of the year, in 1553, if he was born before the asth of March, - in 1554 if he was born on or after March 25.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Fifth Book of Hooker's Treatise of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity It may be well to explain and justify the use of the title Puritans, lest any one should think that this attempt justly to describe the position of Hooker's antagonists begins with the discourtesy and injustice of wantonly giving them a nickname. A nickname it undoubtedly was in Hooker's day and long afterwards, and those to whom it was applied disclaimed it earnestly, in its current connotation. Fuller, whose account is accepted by Neal 1, says that the term came into use in 1564, in connexion with the resistance offered to the stronger action then being taken to enforce conformity.

Download or read book The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity in Modern English written by W. Bradford Littlejohn and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "That posterity may know we have not loosely through silence permitted things to pass away as in a dream..." So opens Richard Hooker's Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity, one of the great landmarks of Protestant theological literature, and indeed of English literature generally. Sadly, however, recent generations of church leaders and scholars have come perilously close to allowing his work to pass away as in a dream. Locked away in a rich and beautiful, but labyrinthine and archaic Elizabethan prose style, Hooker's writings are scarcely read-and for many, scarcely readable-today. This new edition of Hooker's Laws "translates" his prose into modern English for the first time, without sacrificing any of the theological depth or sparkling wit of the original. Although the Church of England and its "Puritan" critics have long since moved on from the specific controversy that gave rise to the Laws, the significance of this extraordinary work has not diminished-nor has the urgent need for the wisdom it has to offer, which is as relevant for 21st-century Christians as it was for those in the sixteenth. Addressing such timeless questions as the role of Scripture in the life of the Church, the relationship of conscience to authority, the appropriate use of reason and tradition in theology, and the meaning of Protestantism's protest against Rome, this first volume of Hooker's Laws in Modern English promises to challenge and equip a new generation of Christian readers.
Download or read book Episcopal Elections Ancient and Modern written by S. E. Dawson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Episcopal Elections, Ancient and Modern: A Study in Ecclesiastical Polity This study upon a subject which is now occupying the attention of the assemblies of the Church of England in Canada, is put forth, not as offering any new views, but rather for the purpose, of collecting, in ac convenient form, the Opinions of learned writers upon a much disputed point of Canon law. Care has been taken to cite in all cases the authorities used, and writers of the churches of England and Rome have exclusively been referred to, because, upon such a point, they would naturally have more weight with Anglicans than non-episcopalian writers, no matter how learned the latter might be. Some arguments have been employed which, being of a more general nature, may appeal to the judgment by their own intrinsic force; but none of them are original. They have all been suggested by reading, conversation, or debate. The question is interesting from whatever point it is approached, and public debate could never, in the time usually allotted, go to the bottom of it. The authorities are so volu minous, the period of history covered is so wide, and the circumstances, under 'which the principles invoked have been applied, are so various, that weeks instead of hours would not suffice properly to discuss them in a public assembly. In all questions concerning the church, a victory inaa party sense is a general defeat. When'the true governing principle is discovered and adopted, then, only the work of legislation is solidly done, and the result can properly be called a victory.

Download or read book Models of the Church written by Avery Dulles and published by Image. This book was released on 2002-05-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is today a dramatic reexamination of structure, authority, dogma -- indeed, every aspect of the life of the Church is held up to scrutiny. Welcoming this as a sign of vitality, Avery Dulles has carefully studied the writings of contemporary Protestant and Catholic ecclesiologists and sifted out six major approaches, or "models," through which the Church's character can be understood: as Institution, Mystical Communion, Sacrament, Herald, Servant, and, in a recent addition to the book, as Community of Disciples. A balanced theology, he concludes, must incorporate the major affirmations of each. "The method of models or types," observes Cardinal Dulles, "can have great value in helping people to get beyond the limitations of their own particular outlook and to enter into fruitful conversation with others... Such conversation is obviously essential if ecumenism is to get beyond its present impasses." This new edition includes a new Appendix and Preface by the author.
