- Originally published in English under the title: How to be an Anglican. Norwich: Canterbury Press, 2003.
- "These notes were written with some particular friends in mind: a group of adult confirmation candidates from a variety of backgrounds -- some Roman Catholic, some Pentecostal -- who found themselves at home in the parish I served, and who wanted to know more about the Anglican middle way. But whoever or wherever you may be, I hope that by reading this little book you will find something of value in our Anglican approach that might encourage you to keep us company on our journey home to God." -- Intro., p. 2.
- "We are always open because we know only too well our constant need of God's mercy. Cast iron certainties are inappropriate when we can never be sure how God will choose to surprise us next. It might be in a carpenter's son from a one-horse town called Nazareth, or in the stranger in need of a bed for the night, or in the person that others want to banish from the church. One can never be too sure: best to remain open, always". -- back cover.

- Essays first published in the Ottawa Citizen 1999-2004.
- "The words that follow were written over a period of about six years. Throughout, I worked as an Anglican priest, serving in a very public way as the Dean of a Cathedral, writing about faith regularly in the newspaper, and going about my duties as pastor. .... The interweaving of personal searching with the questions and issues that were posed to me from the lives of other people created occasions to reflect deeply on the faith that I had committed my life to .... But more than being a cause for introspection, these questions called forth expression: not the proclaiming of theology to an anonymous audience that needed to hear certain things, but words that responded to things people wanted to hear about -- theology that had come through and was being spoken into the crucible of human experience. What follows in these chapters is a series of concise reflections in the form of responses to the experiences, questions, issues and situations of many people." -- Intro., pp. 7-8.
- Contents: Introduction -- Who is God ? -- What is faith about ? -- How is faith lived out ? -- Is there faith in the world around me ? -- Why go to church ? -- Does prayer make a difference ? -- What role does the Bible play ? -- Is there any sense to all the confusion ? -- Conclusion.
- Author is an Anglican priest and dean of Christ Church Cathedral in Ottawa.

- "In a world torn by ideology, the Christian faith promises a journey toward wholeness. Yet the church has often confused ideology with faith and reduced its rich tradition to moralizing and stagnant custom. The author suggests positive and practical solutions to the many pressing questions raised by the confrontation between contemporary culture and church tradition. He writes for those who have difficulty in believing and for those who wish to grow in faith. This book is intended both for individual readers and for groups of people willing to explore together". -- back cover.

- "'What does it mean ?' is the question that acts as a spur in every field of human activity, the question that drives the race forward. What is the meaning of sin and evil, freedom and obedience, death and life, the world itself and man's place in it ? The author ... talks with compassion about the meaning of these perennial problems in terms of the Christian faith. He uses the familiar symbols of the Christian story -- the stable, the wilderness, the market-place, the roadside, water, the hill and the garden -- to show the relevance of the gospel material to present-day Africa, indeed, to us all. He does not gloss over the failures of the Church today and in the past, but, in the vivid simplicity of his presentation, reveals a depth of understanding that will open roadways to the future". -- back cover.

- "Borg shows why the Christian life can remain a transforming relationship with God. Emphasizing the critical role of daily practice in living the Christian life, he explores how prayer, worship, Sabbath, pilgrimage, and more can be experienced as authentically life-giving practices". -- inside front cover.
- "For the past few centuries, this earlier way of seeing Christianity, what I call an `earlier paradigm', has been shared in common by most Christians in Western culture. It remains a major voice within North American Christianity, perhaps still the majority voice. AS I explain more fully in Chapter 1, this earlier way of being Christian views the Bible as the unique revelation of God, emphasizes its literal meaning, and sees the Christian life as centered in believing now for the sake of salvation later -- believing in God, the Bible, and Jesus as the way to heaven. Typically, it has also seen Christianity as the only true religion. The second way of seeing Christianity, the `emerging paradigm', has been developing for over a hundred years and has recently become a major grass-roots movement within mainline denominations. Positively, it is the product of Christianity's encounter with the modern and postmodern world, including science, historical scholarship, religious pluralism, and cultural diversity. Less positively, it is the product of our awareness of how Christianity has contributed to racism, sexism, nationalism, exclusivism, and other harmful ideologies". -- Preface, p. xii.
