The pamphlet in question argued that Church of England members had valid reasons to oppose the BFBS, suggesting that the society undermined the established church by promoting ecumenism and distributing Bibles without the Book of Common Prayer. Cunningham takes issue with these points and argues in favor of the society's goals, emphasizing the importance of making the Bible accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of denominational boundaries.Cunningham's defense is rooted in his belief that the widespread distribution of scripture could only strengthen Christian faith and moral principles. He challenges the notion that the BFBS poses any threat to the Church of England, instead asserting that the Bible Society's work complements the mission of the church by spreading the word of God. He carefully addresses the objections raised in the anonymous pamphlet, using scripture, theology, and reason to support his case.
