Hoare's scholarly pursuits were marked by a marriage of intellectual rigor and passionate evangelism, a duality that characterized much of his career. His legacy, though somewhat overshadowed by contemporaries, endures through his written works, which remain a touchstone for those studying Anglican teachings on soteriology and the nature of redemption in the Christian faith. Edward Hoare's contribution to religious literature and his steadfast commitment to his convictions earned him a distinguished place in the annals of Anglican scholarship.
