Description

Joseph Smith History, Methods, and Memory by Ronald O. Barney explores the complexities surrounding Joseph Smith's life and writings, particularly in light of new historical documents now available. A reappraisal of Smith and the origins of Mormonism is necessary to fashion a strategy for evaluating his enduring legacy. Barney, a former editor of the Joseph Smith Papers, applies new interpretations to Smith's history and memory, re-examining both his writings and contemporary accounts of him. The book delves into the best methodologies for appraising the historical record, including an analysis of Smith's foundational experiences and characterization as a man and prophet. By reviewing the range of sources available, Barney offers a modern reconsideration of the historical record necessary to understand Smith's complex legacy.
