Overview
Caused a storm when it was first published, but now, in the words of Archbishop David Hope, ""should be seen as a refreshing statement which the Church is crying out for."" An Anglican Catechism puts into the hands of anyone seeking to extend knowledge of the Church of England a definitive account of the teachings of the Church. Edward Norman has produced a statement of faith at a time when our understanding has been clouded by the prevalence of secular modes of thought.

Reviews
A provocative Anglican Catechism that couples innovative sexual views with traditionalist church teaching. <br>- Church Times, June 15, 2001
It is more than a statement of Christian beliefs; it is an interpretation of them Brian O' Leary, Epworth review, July 2002.
Edward Norman [ ] is quick to point out that the work has no official status. It represents the author's personal interpretation of Anglican doctrine and practice, although he expresses the hope that it may be 'useful to Christians of many traditions.' The opening paragraph [ ] is highly theoretical in style and aimed at the non-specialist reader. The focus there and throughout the book is on the cognitive aspect of Christian faith In his discussion of Christian morality, Norman is likely to confound the expectations of many readers, both to his left and to his right The Tablet, August 25, 2001 There are many excellent features to this book In particular the sections dealing with the social teaching and witness of the church could stir up a fascinating debate and raise important issues.
