    Extractions: August 2001: An e-publication of the New England Institute for Religious Research Religion "Made in America" The Paradox of Joseph Smith and Mormonism Mormonism, known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (with headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah), was officially founded in 1830 by Joseph Smith, Jr. (1805-1844). While living in Palmyra New York, Smith claimed at the age of 15 to have had a personal visit from God, who introduced him to Christ. Jesus supposedly told him not to join any church because they were "all wrong ... all their creeds were an abomination in His sight, and that those professors (Christians) were all corrupt" (Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith, 2:18-19). Smith was allegedly told by God that he was chosen to restore the true church that the apostles had founded, and to bring to light "many plain and precious" truths of the scriptures that had been altered or expunged from the Scriptures. Three years later, Smith claimed that he was visited by the angel "Moroni" who revealed to him the whereabouts of certain plates of gold which were alleged to be the scriptures and sacred writings of the inhabitants of the Americas. Smith unearthed the plates, and in 1827 began the process of translating them from a language he called "Reformed Egyptian" to English. Thus, from this, he produced the Book of Mormon, which was published in 1830.

    Extractions: JOSEPH SMITH AS A PROPHET The Latter-Day Saints ("Mormons") hold as among the first and most important principles of their religion, on which all the rest is based, that the founder of their church, Joseph Smith Jr. (1805-1844) was literally a prophet of God, if not the greatest prophet ever to have lived on the earth. Was he? Examine the record for yourself: Test of a prophet: "And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously..." Deut 18:21-22 Jesus told his disciples how they could distinguish between a true prophet and a false prophet: by their "fruits" - that is, by the fulfillment of their prophecies. Matt 7:15-20 The fulfillment of a prophecy cannot be delayed long. "They ... say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God: There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God." Ezek 12:21-28 See also Isaiah 8:20 and 9:15 on false prophets: if what a prophet says is different from the law, it is because there is "no light in" him; a prophet that teaches lies will be "cut off."

    Extractions: Return to Readings Joseph Smith Although he claims that the events he is retelling took place in 1820, there is no historical record of Joseph Smith's testimony before 1842 when Joseph Smith published his story in the Mormon publication Times and Seasons a fact which lends credence to the possibility that his testimony was inspired by Charles Finney and similar revivalist preachers. Joseph Smith, (1805-1844), founder of the Mormons and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Fayette, NY, (April 6, 1830), began to have visions in 1820. He claimed to receive on September 22, 1827 from an angel a book written in strange hieroglyphics on golden plates, later this book was translated and published at Palmyra, NY, as The Book of Mormon He also wrote: A Book of Commandments Doctrine and Covenants The Pearl of Great Price These books are regarded as scriptural revelations and provide the basis for the church's doctrine and organisation. Opposition to polygamy in 1843 created a schism in the church. Smith was arrested and jailed for inciting rioters to destroy a critical printing press and he was taken from jail at Cathage, Ill., by a mob on June 27, 1844, and shot.

    Extractions: Four years after murder and forgery turned a spotlight on the Mormon Church's early history, publishers are finding a ready market for the original writings of the faith's founder, Joseph Smith. A new paperback edition of Smith's personal diaries and journals offers perhaps the most personal and candid view yet of the complex and charismatic Smith. They reveal a robust, gregarious man who might compete in a wrestling match in the morning and preach a sermon after lunch. Signature Books reports brisk sales of An American Prophet's Record: The Diaries and Journals of Joseph Smith . Meanwhile, Mormon Church-owned Deseret Book is preparing to release this fall the first of six volumes containing Smith's complete writings in their original, unedited form. "People tend to identify Mormonism with Brigham Young, but before Brigham was Joseph. These documents give you a view of who he really was," said Scott Faulring, editor of the Signature volume. The interest in the projects stems at least in part from Mark Hofmann, a former Mormon missionary who later turned to murder to hide a scheme in which he sold the church and private collectors thousands of dollars worth of his forged historical documents.

    Extractions: REACTIONS TO CHRISTIANITY NO. 3 One of the more important reactions seen in the early 1800s is that of Mormonism. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints may be the fastest growing religious body in America. It deserves extensive treatment. Mormonism drew heavily from primitivism . Even now it claims to be a "restoration movement." Mormonism demonstrates the American emphasis on the common man because it demonstrated that any individual could amass wealth and power. Mormonism illustrates the day's experimental climate because it too tried to establish a communal society and build unique social structures. I. The Moneydigger Joseph Smith Jr. (1805-1844) was born in Vermont to a poor farmer. Vermont records show that Smith's father refused to pay honest debts. The Smith family moved to Palmyra, New York, in the "burned over district" in 1816 to escape a poor reputation. Recurring financial problems plagued the Smith family even after they relocated to Palmyra. Joseph Jr. tried to help the family by treasure hunting. Numerous Indian ruins, complete with abandoned fortifications and burial mounds, dotted western New York. Area legends suggested these mounds and fortifications hid buried treasure just waiting to be found. Smith was just one of many who claimed they could locate such treasure. Using a "seer stone," which he placed into the bottom of a hat, Smith peered into the hat while trying to locate treasure. He then announced the location of the supposed treasure and digging began. Martin Harris, a neighboring farmer, fell for Smith's confidence scheme so completely that he reported a buried treasure which kept sinking deeper into the earth whenever the diggers neared it. Smith later acknowledged the fraud.
