The reviewer, Tommy Kidd of Baylor University, offered a very thorough summary of the monograph, and highlighted Erskine's dissemination of books to friends like Jonathan Edwards and John Ryland Jr. Kidd writes, "In Erskine, then, we find the evangelical disseminator par excellence in the eighteenth century's republic of letters. Recommending and gifting books was a common practice of Edwards, George Whitefield, the Wesley brothers and other evangelical leaders, but no one went to the lengths of Erskine."
