"Gospel Themes: A Treatise on Salient Features of 'Mormonism'" by Orson F. Whitney is a religious treatise written in the early 20th century. The work is a compilation aimed at members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, particularly the clergy, focusing on key doctrines, principles, and historical contexts of Mormon theology. It explores themes such as the divine plan for human progress, the way of salvation, and the nature of gospel principles. The opening of the treatise sets the stage for discussing foundational aspects of "Mormonism," beginning with the concept of the gospel as the "story of God" and emphasizing the significance of pivotal events in Christian belief, notably the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Whitney introduces his ideas on the eternal nature of gospel principles and how they relate to humanity's progression towards divinity. He acknowledges the necessity of faith, repentance, and obedience in the context of salvation, positing that these are essential for individuals wishing to attain exaltation within the framework established by God. The work prepares readers for a deeper exploration of the doctrines that characterize the Latter-day Saint movement. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
