The Key to the Science of Theology is a book written by the Apostle Parley P. Pratt, published in 1855, two years before his martyrdom. The author of this site, Joseph, has studied the Gospel of Jesus Christ as restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr. in great depth for over a decade.

This blog is an ode to that triumphant work and the glorious future it prophetically envisions.
