Rather Than Perishing With Him, Mormonism Migrated To The Rocky Mountains, Flourished There, And Now Claims Millions Of Followers Worldwide.In Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling, Richard Bushman, An Esteemed American Cultural Historian And A Practicing Mormon, Tells How Smith Formed A New Religion From The Ground Up. Moving Beyond The Popular Stereotype Of Smith As A Colorful Fraud, The Book Explores The Inner Workings Of His Personalityhis Personal Piety, His Temper, His Affection For Family And Friends, And His Incredible Determination.

He Sought To Form Egalitarian, Just, And Open Communities Under God And Laid Out A Plan For Ideal Cities, Which He Hoped Would Fill The World. Adopted As The Model For Hundreds Of Mormon Settlements In The West, Smiths Urban Vision May Have Left A More Lasting Imprint On The Landscape Than That Of Any Other American.He Was Controversial From His Earliest Years. His Followers Honored Him As A Man Who Spoke For God And Restored Biblical Religion. His Enemies Maligned Him As A Dangerous Religious Fanatic, An American Mohammad, And Drove The Mormons From Every Place In Which They Settled. Smiths Ultimate Assassination By An Armed Mob Raises The Question Of Whether American Democracy Can Tolerate Visionaries.The Book Gives More Attention To Joseph Smiths Innovative Religious Thought Than Any Previous Biography. As Bushman Writes, His Followers Derived Their Energy And Purpose From The Religious World He Brought Into Being. Some Of The Teachings Were Controversial, Such As Property Redistribution And Plural Marriage, But Smiths Revelations Also Delved Into Cosmology And The History Of God. They Spoke Of The Origins Of The Human Personality And The Purpose Of Life. While Thoroughly Christian, Smith Radically Reconceived The Relationship Between Humans And God. The Book Evaluates The Mormon Prophets Bold Contributions To Christian Theology And Situates Him Culturally In The Modern World.Published On The Two Hundredth Anniversary Of Smiths Birth, Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling Is An Indepth Portrayal Of The Mysterious Figure Behind One Of The Worlds Fastest Growing Faiths.
