Summary: "Key to the Science of Theology" by Parley P. Pratt is a theological treatise written in the mid-19th century. The work serves as an introduction to spiritual philosophy, religion, law, and governance, exploring the restoration of ancient truths and principles relevant for modern society. The author aims to lay a foundation for understanding divine knowledge, with a focus on unity and enlightenment among all peoples. The opening of the book presents a poetic and passionate preface, establishing the need for restoration within theological understanding amidst a backdrop of social upheaval and intellectual advancement in the 19th century. Parley P. Pratt asserts that while other fields are progressing, religious knowledge seems stagnant and encumbered by outdated creeds. He introduces the idea that true knowledge can break through ignorance and division, ultimately revealing a universal truth that would unite humanity. This context sets the tone for the subsequent chapters that delve into the historical evolution of theology, its decline among various nations, and the implications for the present day and future restoration of knowledge and spiritual understanding.
