Autorenporträt
Joseph Smith (1805–1844) was an American religious leader and founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, more commonly known as the Mormon Church. Born in Sharon, Vermont, Smith claimed to have received divine visions that led him to restore what he believed to be the original Christian church. His translation of the alleged golden plates, purportedly given to him by an angel named Moroni, resulted in the publication of the Book of Mormon in 1830, a text central to Latter-day Saint belief. Smith's religious contributions include not only the founding of a major faith but various doctrinal expansions, visions, and written works that form the backbone of Latter-day Saint theology. Notably, 'History of Joseph Smith, the Prophet and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' serves as an invaluable text chronicling the formative period of the Mormon Church and its early doctrines. Smith's literary style, particularly in his scriptural productions, mirrors the archaic prose and biblical narrative. However, his historical writings in the mentioned history book provide a more straightforward narrative aimed at documenting the unfolding events of his life and the burgeoning church. Smith's pivotal role in establishing a new religious movement in the religiously charged atmosphere of 19th century America has been a subject of continued scholarly interest, making his writings and his life central subjects of study in American religious history.
