"It is an exciting development that Richard Hooker is being
relieved of his image as a fusty ecclesiastical polemicist and
rediscovered as a formative influence on the modern political
imagination. He finds a committed and discriminating advocate in W.
Bradford Littlejohn, who reveals how the generous Christian faith
that moved Hooker equipped him with a supple and disciplined
account of human freedom." Charles Mathewes
-- University of Virginia
"Littlejohn's work would have been enough if it had simply been a
terrific recovery and restatement of major themes in the work of
Richard Hooker--for he is, after all, perhaps the one truly great
major thinker in Christian thought who lacks disciples in the
contemporary academy. But, more than that, it is also a significant
contribution to debates about the nature of modernity and
liberalism, the relation between earlier theological notions of
liberty of conscience and contemporary individualism, church and
state, and arguments about the meaning of the Reformation for the
contemporary world--all from a deeply underappreciated perspective.
Agree or disagree, Littlejohn's work, in reaffirming a major
Christian tradition, is a wonderful addition to the current tumult
in political theology."
