Disputes that currently trouble Christianity often involve
disagreement over scriptural interpretation. Such disagreement is nothing new,
and insights available from past efforts at resolution can be valuable for
modern Christians. This study elucidates the hermeneutic of Richard Hooker, a
formative figure of Anglicanism, to recommend it as a resource for promoting
dialogue. Hooker's approach to scripture recognizes the importance of both
rational reflection and inspiration while balancing claims of interpretive
authorities and individual conscience, providing a hermeneutic that opens
Christians to growth and reform while maintaining unity within the
church.
