This book is a letter. It is divided into three parts. Part one is an investigation of the true nature of religion. He addresses several poor conceptions of God and religion before turning to true religion-- the "life of God in the son of man." In Part two Scougal explains the benefits of true 

religion. He focuses on the "excellence of divine love." In the third part, Scougal recognizes the difficulties in following God.

He emphasizes dependence upon divine assistance, and the contemplation of scripture in developing a Godly life." Paraphrased from CCEL page 1
