Richard Hooker’s Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity has long been acknowledged as an influential philosophical, theological and literary text. While scholars have commonly noted the presence of participatory language in selected passages of Hooker’s Laws, Paul Anthony Dominiak is the first to trace how participation lends a sense of system and coherency across the whole work.Dominiak analyses how Hooker uses an architectural framework of ‘participation in God’ to build a cohesive vision of the Elizabethan Church as the most fitting way to reconcile and lead English believers to the shared participation of God. First exploring Hooker’s metaphysical architecture of participation in his accounts of law and the sacraments, Dominiak then traces how this architecture structures cognitive participation in God, as well as Hooker’s political vision of the Church and Commonwealth. The volume culminates with a summary of how Hooker provides a salutary resource for modern ecumenical dialogue and contemporary political retrievals of participation.

Paul Dominiak’s monograph on Richard Hooker’s ‘metaphysics of participation’ is an outstanding research achievement. Opening with a discussion of the sapiential theology which inspires Hooker’s generic disposition of the species of law in the first book Of the Lawes of Ecclesiasticall Politie (1593), Dominiak argues that the work is constructed in accordance with a rigorously architectonic logic […} Dominiak’s approach is radical in that he seeks to penetrate the underlying Neoplatonic metaphysical assumptions of this early-modern English philosophical theologian, and to show how these assumptions animate the treatise as a whole. […] This is an undeniably bold thesis, and the author demonstrates his claim with admirable lucidity and panache.
