As Episcopalians, we recognize that our faith is best expressed in our liturgy, in what we say and do together in our worship. However, it can be helpful to explain what we believe in a longer discourse, such as in discussions with other Christians or in a book. Here are some resources you might explore to consider for yourself what we believe and to deepen your faith:

An Introduction to Christian Belief

​

CS Lewis, Mere Christianity (1952)

One of the most popular introductions to Christian faith ever written. Brings together Lewis’s legendary broadcast talks during WWII, yet it remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader. First third addresses the moral structure of the universe, followed by an explanation of what Christians believe, and finishes with discussion of Christian behavior (256 pages)

NT Wright, Simply Christian (2006)

First third explores ways that we can sense God’s influence in us, followed by an explanation of the story of God’s dealings with humanity, and finishes with discussion of how we should respond to the actions of God (256 pages)

​

Tim Keller, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism (2008)

First half deals with common objections to Christianity. The middle seeks to make a positive case for the rationality of belief. Finally there’s a basic treatment of the main Christian beliefs. (336 pages)
