Gospel Themes: A Treatise on Salient Features of Mormonism is a book written by Elder Orson F. Whitney that provides a comprehensive overview of the beliefs and practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as the Mormon Church.

Throughout the book, Whitney draws upon scriptural passages, teachings of church leaders, and personal experiences to illustrate the key themes and doctrines of Mormonism. He also addresses common criticisms and misconceptions about the church, such as its views on polygamy and its relationship with other Christian denominations. Overall, Gospel Themes serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the fundamental beliefs and practices of the Mormon Church, as well as for members of the church looking to deepen their understanding of their faith.1914. Written for, and dedicated to the High Priests, Seventies and Elders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Whitney’s aim was not to give exhaustive treatment to any subject, but to throw in sight certain themes, and dwell briefly upon points of doctrine, prophecy, history and illustration that will be helpful to the brethren of the Priesthood-those who are studying the Gospel at home and those who are preaching it abroad. The contents are divided into the following sections: The Story of God; The Way of Salvation; Priesthood and Church Government; The Gospel Dispensations; and Dispersion and Gathering of Israel.
