The novel's structure mirrors Heinlein's career development as a writer: the first half is an adventure story, the second half a thoughtful exploration of religion and human needs.
Stranger follows the core science-fiction literary motif of inner exploration from an external source, of defining humanity by looking at it through inhuman eyes.
