The narrative structure can definitely be confusing (it’s someone writing a letter telling a story, and then he starts quoting someone else telling a story, who frequently quotes someone else telling a story… I mean, seriously), and while I understood why Shelley wrote it that way, it was sometimes difficult to remember who was telling who what.

The author's theological overview is straightforward but not simplistic, concise but not condescending. 'The doctrines of our holy religion need to be studied in order, according to some definite system but simplicity should prevail-simplicity of arrangement and simplicity of language, ' he said. Boothe believed all Christians needed a solid theological foundation on which to build their understanding of God and his plan for their lives.
