Barton W. Stone was an American pioneer evangelist of the early 19th century who was instrumental in bringing thousands of people to Christ as the nation expanded westward.

This booklet consists of two letters which were written to a member of the Presbyterian Church (with which Stone was formerly associated), to compare many points of their Large Catechism with the Bible. The specific topic under consideration was the atonement which was gained through the death of Christ on the cross.

Contents
Letter One

• An Examination of the Peculiar Doctrines of the Confession of Faith, which is the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church in America.
• Of the Covenant Made with Adam and His Posterity in Him
• Of the Wrath of God
• Of Christ, a Surety of the Elect, or of Mankind
• Of Imputed Righteousness
• Consequences of Surety-Righteousness

Letter Two

• The Nature of God
• The Nature of Fallen Man
• For What Purpose did Christ Come into the World, Live, and Die?
• Eleven Objections Considered and Answered

Throughout the letters, objections are presented and answered.
