There are a number of resources on the world wide web that have material either about Hooker, or composed by him. Those who desire to know more about Hooker's commemoration in the calendar of the Episcopal Church (USA) should visit the lectionary page for Richard Hooker at satucket.com. It contains both the traditional and the contemporary language collects for Hooker's feast day, and a nice, brief biography. The traditional language collect is as follows:


O God of truth and peace, who didst raise up thy servant Richard Hooker in a day of bitter controversy to defend with sound reasoning and great charity the catholic and reformed religion: Grant that we may maintain that middle way, not as a compromise for the sake of peace, but as a comprehension for the sake of truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


A second, brief biography about Hooker is written by Arthur Middleton of the diocese of Durham. This essay is hosted at Project Canterbury, which features a vast library of Anglican writings on its webpage, including all eight books of Hooker's Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity, his principle theological work. Project Canterbury also contains the most famous piece of Hooker-related hagiography, Izaak Walton's Life of Hooker, which has historically been printed with various collections of Hooker's writings (don't forget to read Walton's Appendix to the Life). Several of Hooker's sermons, along with selections from the Laws may be accessed through the internet library linked at luminarium.org.

Luminarium also contains a nice selection of links to various online articles about Hooker. For those desiring a bit of theological meat, three of these articles should be noted. First is the excellent piece 'Richard Hooker's Discourse of Natural Law in the Context of the Magisterial Reformation' by W. J. Torrance Kirby, a historian at McGill University in Canada. The second of these articles is by Paul Avis, General Secretary of the Church of England’s Council for Christian Unity. Avis's article, 'Exploring Authority in the Spirit of Richard Hooker', looks towards the past with an eye towards the present. (Avis himself is an excellent theologian - readers at Covenant may be interested in a laudatory review of his recent volume The Identity of Anglicanism: Essentials of Anglican Ecclesiology.) Lastly, Stephen Sykes published an interesting paper entitled 'Richard Hooker and the Ordination of Women to the Priesthood' in the Sewanne Theological Review in 1993 that is - like everything else that Sykes has written - still well worth reading and reflecting upon.
