Brewster presented a plan to better the organization of the Mormon Church. Receiving visions from his childhood, this dissenter was 'commanded' to publish the book of 'Esdras.' He believed that the Mormon church no longer lived up to former revelations and that Joseph Smith's calling as Prophet would end in failure. He, like many early dissenters, felt himself as eligible to receive Church authority, and hence, criticized the existing Church hierarchy.
