Everybody today talks about the polarization of America. We're caught up in reactivity and this creates an anxiety that seeps into churches today. Where can we turn for wisdom? The Reformed Anglican theologian Richard Hooker. Dr. Brad Littlejohn joins us to talk about how Hooker navigated tensions within the Reformation between Presbyterians and Episcopalians as how this informs our modern day gridlock. We also discuss Hooker's desire to combine the best of both Protestant theology and Catholic liturgical practices as a means of Reformation. Finally, we talk about the pitfalls of radicalism and hubris in reform movements during times of social change and upheaval.
