Five sources for learning more about Anglican eucharistic theology:
1. Richard Hooker
This edition is in modern English and here, or in the wonderful original, it beautifully illustrates the main Anglican position.

2. Thomas Cranmer
This e-text is from the chief composer and editor of the Book of Common Prayer.

3. John Jewell
A patron of Hooker, his 'Apology for the Church of England' was required to be kept in Anglican churches for hundreds of years. This is his important work on the sacraments.

4. Peter Martyr Vermigli
The Italian reformer who taught Jewell when Cranmer and others brought Vermigli to England to teach theology at Oxford. He had a role in editing the prayer book and maybe even wrote one of the prayer book exhortations.

5. Torrance Kirby
Probably the leading expert on Hooker in the world writes a great article on the subject of the Eucharist. (When meeting in person he used this wonderful phrase to describe Hooker's eucharistic understanding: 'Real Instrumental Presence'.
