About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Key to the Science of Theology by Parley Pratt. Read in English by J Korth; Kathleen Moore; Larry Wilson; Kittie Bagby; Jacob Shumway; deongines "The present Volume aims to embody, in a concise and somewhat original manner and style, a general view of the Science of Theology, as gathered from revelation, history, prophecy, reason and analogy. If the Work proves an introductory key to some of the first principles of the divine science of which it treats; if it serves to open the eyes of any of his fellowmen, on the facts of the past, the present, and the future; if it leads to investigation and inquiry, and calls public attention to the greater and more particular truths which have been, or are about to be, revealed as a standard by which to unite the people of all nations and of all religions upon the rock, the sure foundation of divine, eternal, uncreated, infinite and exhaustless Truth, it will have accomplished the end aimed at by THE AUTHOR."
