Parley P. Pratt's seminal 1837 volume a Voice of Warning and Instruction to All People (for a long time the most read Mormon publication apart from the Book of Mormon itself) attempts, and succeeds, at being the very first clear, concise, and organized presentation of the Context and Story of Mormonism. It it truly the first presentation of a 'Gospel Principles' book in the Church. What Pratt does that is unique is to correlate and organize the message into one of simple logic - all the while closely obeying president Joseph Smith's charge to the Twelve and their missionary efforts to only speak of the First principles of the Gospel as it has been revealed. The 1837 Missionary Message of Parley P. Pratt as presented in A Voice of Warning can be outlined like this: · Authenticity and necessity of Prophecy o Presentation that Prophets accurately foretold what we now know as History o Presentation of authoritative Prophetic accounts of the Future, leading up to the reign of the Kingdom of God · The Kingdom of God o What the Kingdom is o How to identify the Kingdom o How to become part of the Kingdom · The Book of Mormon o Witness of the reality of the renewed covenant of the Kingdom today · (Proclamation and Warning to All) · The Restitution of All Things o Resurrection of the Body o Restoration of the Earth to a pure form o Two New Jerusalems: Jerusalem and Zion · The Dealings of God with All Nations o All who hear the message by authorized messengers are accountable. o All who live in an age where the message is not authorized to be sent are not accountable. · Chart contrasting the "Doctrine of Christ" with a somewhat humorous presentation of the "Popular Doctrines of the 19th Century"

One of the first converts to the LDS church, Parley Parker Pratt (1807-57) would eventually become early Mormonism’s most famous and widely published defender. Born in western New York, he converted to Mormonism in late 1830 and was called to the Quorum of Twelve Apostles five years later as one of its founding members. He was strong-willed and largely self-educated, as his vitae reflects: he served several missions for the church; participated in Zion’s Camp, the militia which marched to Missouri to rescue threatened church members; quarreled with Joseph Smith over finances and narrowly escaped excommunication; founded the Latter-day Saints’ Millennial Starin England; married several plural wives in Nauvoo, Illinois; immigrated to the Great Salt Lake valley; and continued to fill additional overseas missions.Best known for his fiery apologetic writings such as A Voice of Warning (1837), Key to the Science of Theology (1855), and for his autobiography which was published posthumously in 1874 by his son, who wrote most of it, Pratt nevertheless defined Mormon doctrine and theology for much of the nineteenth century. He was killed in 1857 in Arkansas by the estranged husband of one of his polygamous wives. The husband, an outsider, did not share Pratt’s and other Mormons’ contempt for civil authority over marriage.
