The study of Joseph Smith and his writings have long been shaped by the polemical atmosphere that surrounds Smiths claims to divine authorship. Even after a halfcentury of serious scholarship devoted to Smith, fundamental questions remain about how to best interpret features of his life and writing. Smiths own History of Joseph Smith (edited and revised at the beginning of the twentieth century by B. H. Roberts) created an enduring image that influenced Mormon theology, doctrine, and polity for generations. With new historical documents now available, however, a reappraisal of Smith and the origins of Mormonism is necessary.Ronald O. Barney, a former editor of the Joseph Smith Papers, applies new interpretations to Smith in history and memory, reexamining both his writings and contemporary accounts of him. The book explores the best methodologies for appraising the historical record, including a review of Smiths world and its contextual background, an analysis of his foundational experiences, and a characterization of Smith as a man and prophet. Though the premise of reevaluation may be unsettling to traditionalists, a modern reconsideration of the historical records entire range of sources is necessary to fashion a strategy for evaluating Smith and his enduring but complex legacy.
