The book is divided into two lectures, with the first lecture focusing on the history of architecture and the second lecture discussing the principles of Christian architecture.

He also emphasizes the importance of using traditional materials and techniques in building churches and other religious structures. The book includes numerous illustrations and examples of Gothic architecture, as well as detailed descriptions of the various elements of Gothic design.
