Richard Hooker’s theology of Law is rooted in a twofold argument: the systematic appropriation of the neoplatonic structure of argument and an appeal to protestant conceptions of Nature and Grace. This paper offers a close reading of Hooker’s Of the Lawes of Ecclesiasticall Politie in an attempt to understand the articulation between Natural and Eternal Laws.
