Thomas Hooker was the founder of the state of Connecticut. He led a group from Massachusetts who wanted less government.
Hooker was influenced by William Ames, and recommended Ames' book The Marrow of Sacred Divinity as "the only book beyond the Bible needed to make a student into a sound theologian."[1]
