John Anderson justifies his geological interests and how they mesh with his professional obligations in "The Course of Creation". He makes the case that studying geology may help one understand the Creator's creations and the documentation of his intent. The writings of great and admirable individuals like Buckland, Conybeare, Sedgwick, Sumner, Smith, Fleming, and Chalmers—all inextricably linked to the study of geology—serve as inspiration for Anderson. He also refers to the Psalmist's descriptions, which depict the grand master-keys of creation in a sweeping sweep. Although the author states that he had no intention of making his collection of geological research available to the public, he has chosen to compile his notes in this book. The descriptions of various geological formations and their relationships to one another in the nations skipped over in the book follow a geographical pattern. Anderson expresses his debt of gratitude to Messrs. W. and R. Chambers and Mr. David Page for providing a lot of the insightful data and illustrations in the book. Although there may be mistakes in the book, Anderson believes they will advance geological knowledge and encourage readers to have a strong love for the natural world and their Creator.
