In the Introduction, the author relates the history of the influence the Church has had in Deaf Education. Also, in the section entitled "Ministry to the Deaf in the United States," Costello traces the history of religious ministry in the Jewish faith and also in the Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, and Baptist Christian denominations.
The guide contains an alphabetical listing for each word or concept with definitions and illustrations. Such entries include names, such as "Abraham," the various religious offices, such as "Deacon," and other religiously-based vocabulary.
