He was born in Somerset, circa 1495-1500.
He graduated from Oxford with B. A. degree in 1519.
Cliva Ordinis Cislerriensis, " i. e. of the Cistercian house at Cleeve in Somerset.
Before 1546 he had secured employment in the household of Sir Thomas Arundell, a man of influential connexions. But he chanced upon some of Zwingli's works and Bullinger's commentaries on St Paul's epistles; and after some molestation in England and some correspondence with Bullinger on the lawfulness of complying against his conscience with the established religion, he determined to secure what property he could and take refuge on the continent.
He had an adventurous journey, being twice imprisoned, driven about for three months on the sea, and reaching Strassburg in the midst of the Schmalkaidic war. Somerset's fall in the following October endangered Hooper's position, and for a time he was in hourly dread of imprisonment and martyrdom, more especially as he had taken a prominent part against Gardiner-and Bonner, whose restoration to their sees was now anticipated.
Warwick, afterwards duke of Northumberland, however, overcame the reactionaries in the Council, and early in 1550 the Reformation resumed its course. Hooper became Warwick's chaplain, and after a course of Lent lectures before the king he was offered the bishopric of Gloucester.
This led to a prolonged controversy; Hooper had already denounced the " Aaronic vestments " and the oath by the saints. prescribed in the new Ordinal; and he refused to be consecrated according to its rightes. Once seated in his bishopric Hooper set about his episcopal duties with exemplary vigour.
His visitation of his diocese (printed in English Hist. Father Cranmer Cranmer, Ridley, Bucer and others urged him to submit in vain; confinement to his house by order of the Council proved equally ineffectual; and it was not until he had spent some weeks in the Fleet prison that the " father of nonconformity " consented to conform, and Hooper submitted to consecration with the legal ceremonies (March 8, 1551).
Hooper did his best in the time at his disposal; but in less than a year the bishopric of Gloucester was reduced to an archdeaconry and added to Worcester, of which Hooper was made bishop in succession to Nicholas Heath (q. v. ).
He was opposed to Northumberland's plot for the exclusion of Mary from the throne; but this did not save him from speedy imprisonment.
Edward VI. 's legislation was, however, repealed in the following month, and in March 1554 Hooper was deprived of his bishopric as a married man.
There was still no statute by which he could be condemned to the stake, but Hooper was kept in prison; and the revival of the heresy acts in December 1554 was swiftly followed by execution.
On the 29th of January 1555, Hooper, Rogers, Rowland Taylor and others were condemned by Gardiner anddegraded by Bonner. Hooper was sent down to suffer at Gloucester, where he was burnt on the 9th of February, meeting his fate with steadfast courage and unshaken conviction.
Hooper was the first of the bishops to suffer because his Zwinglian views placed him further beyond the pale than Cranmer, Ridley and Latimer.
While he expressed dissatisfaction with some of Calvin's earlier writings, he approved of the Consensus Tigurinus negotiated in 1549 between the Zwinglians and Calvinists of Switzerland; and it was this form of religion that he laboured to spread in England against the wishes of Cranmer, Ridley, Bucer, Peter Martyr and other more conservative theologians.

It was not until May 1549, that Hooper returned to England. There, he became the principal champion of Swiss Calvinism, against the Lutherans as well as the Catholics, and was appointed chaplain to Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, the Lord Protector. Hooper had a hand in the formation of the Zwinglian-inspired Dutch and French Stranger churches in Glastonbury and London.
In Strasbourg again, in early 1547, he married Anne de Tserclaes (or Tscerlas), a Belgian who with her sister had lived in the household of Jacques de Bourgogne, seigneur de Falais.
