The dictionary serves as an instructional text intended to clarify and explain important theological terms, church doctrines, and church practices for its readers, particularly laypersons and parishioners. Its comprehensive entries cover various aspects of church history, doctrine, architecture, and administration. The opening of "A Church Dictionary" outlines its evolution from monthly tracts aimed at educating parishioners to a more extensive and structured reference work. Hook describes the dictionary’s aim to address misconceptions about the Church of England's doctrines and practices, as well as to provide a resource for understanding diverse Christian communities. The preface emphasizes the dictionary's increased utility through the addition of more terms and references to authoritative sources, reflecting the changing circumstances of the Church and the misunderstandings prevalent regarding its teachings. The initial entries sample a range of key religious concepts and terms, revealing the text’s depth and breadth in discussing ecclesiastical topics.
