Publisher's summary

Legacy LDS Audiobook Foundation is proud to present Key to the Science of Theology, by Parley P. Pratt, with additional faith-building content for the modern reader.

Parley P. Pratt began to work on Key to the Science of Theology in San Francisco in August 1851, just before leaving for his mission to Chile. He continued writing it while in Chile. He finished the manuscript upon his return to Utah in 1853. The manuscript remained unpublished, however, until 1855 when Parley found a publisher in England. Parley’s book represented a lifetime of thought and built on ideas first propounded in Pratt’s earlier writings, especially missionary tracts stemming from his years in England.

The impact of Key to the Science of Theology was unparalleled. One Latter-day Saint diarist of the 19th century observed: “We had every encouragement to read the Church publications: The Voice of Warning; the Pearl of Great Price; and Key to Theology.” That Parley’s writings would be on the same footing as the Pearl of Great Price, canonized in 1880, indicates the special status his works held among early Church leaders and members.

During the twenty-two years following its publication, a time when almost no other Church books were being written, Key to the Science of Theology went through three more editions, suggesting that the work had the tacit approval of Brigham Young. Indeed, in 1875, Voice of Warning and Key to the Science of Theology were the first two titles mentioned in the Church’s Deseret News list of “Books worth Reading”. Parley’s Key to the Science of Theology continues to be a book worth reading today, providing the modern reader insight into the early gospel thinking of Church leaders.
