The book is a series of letters addressed to Caleb Strong, the late Governor of Massachusetts, in which Whelpley argues that the principles of Christianity prohibit retaliation, capital punishment, and war.

The book is a reflection of the growing influence of Christian pacifism in the early 19th century and provides insight into the social and political debates of the time.Showing That Retaliation, Capital Punishments, And War, Are Prohibited By The Gospel, Justified By No Good Principle, Not Necessary To The Safety Of Individuals Or Nations.
