- "First published in 2002 by the Canterbury Press, Norwich. Second impression". -- verso of t.-p.
- "'Ponder These Things' is part of the 'Borders' series published in association with Tymawr Convent, Monmouth". -- back cover.
- "'Ponder These Things' invites us to explore and reflect on the depths of meaning in three classic icons of the Virgin and her Child from the Eastern Christian tradition. Icons have been described as 'theology in line and colour' and, in tracing the movement within these icons, Rowan Williams discovers the pattern of love that they reveal, a love that invites and embraces us so that we no longer remain as spectators, but find ourselves caught up in the drama that unfolds itself before us". -- back cover.
