Abstract
Thomas Hooker, one of the most eminent of Puritan divines to emigrate to New England, has so far been sadly neglected: none of his works have received a modern edition. The volume that is now available (also from Scholars Press, University of Montana, Missoula, Montana) promises to remedy this situation. Except for the lengthy treatise on The Soul’s Preparation for Christ, all the works which Hooker is known to have published before his departure for New England in 1633 are here assembled, altogether ten documents ranging from a funeral sermon of 1626 to the Preface to William Ames’ A Fresh Suit Against Ceremonies of 1633 and comprising letters, tracts, sermons, prefaces, and Hooker’s Answers to twenty questions posed to him by John Paget of Amsterdam.
