The book is divided into chapters that cover a range of topics, including the nature of God, the Holy Trinity, the sacraments, and the Ten Commandments. Each chapter includes a series of questions and answers that can be used for memorization and review. The manual also includes sections on the liturgy and the Book of Common Prayer, as well as guidance on how to conduct services and administer the sacraments.In addition to its practical instruction, The Catechist's Manual also provides a historical overview of the Protestant Episcopal Church and its development in the United States.
