The Gita offers a succinct summary of ancient Indian philosophy, with particular emphasis on the Supreme Spirit as both immanent and transcendent. It has been translated into practically every modern tongue, and widely read and discussed of all Eastern scriptures.

The author also wrote several illuminating Essays on the poem and these, combined with his Recension, make the present work unique. As James A. Long writes in the Foreword: "The value of these studies lies in Judge's exceptional ability to interpret by the light of the 'perennial philosophy' the many obscure passages that defied most 19th century scholars," thus making the Essays a bridge between the Gita's oriental approach and modern occidental thought.
