Joseph Smith,
rose from a modest background to found the largest indige¬
nous Christian church in American history. Without the benefit
of wealth, education, or social position, he published the 584-
page Book of Mormon when he was twenty-three; organized a
church when he was twenty-four; and founded cities, built tem¬
ples, and attracted thousands of followers before his violent death
at age thirty-eight. 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 Rotting, Richard Bushman, an
esteemed American cultural historian and a practicing Mormon,
tells how Smith formed a new religion from the ground up. Mov¬
ing beyond the popular stereotype of Smith as a colorful fraud,
the book explores the inner workings of his personality
sonal piety, his temper, his affection for family and friends, and
his incredible determination. It describes how he received revela¬
tions and why his followers believed them.
Smith was a builder of cities. 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, Smith s
urban vision may have left a more lasting imprint on the land¬
scape 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. Smith s ultimate assassination
by an armed mob raises the question of whether American
democracy can tolerate visionaries.
The book gives more attention to Joseph Smith s 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 teach¬
ings were controversial, such as property redistribution and plu¬
ral marriage, but Smith s 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 Chris¬
tian, Smith radically reconceived the relationship between humans
and God. The book evaluates the Mormon prophet s bold
contributions to Christian theology and situates him culturally
in the modern world.
Published on the two hundredth anniversary of Smith s birth,
Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling is an in-depth portrayal of the
mysterious figure behind one of the world s fastest growing faiths.
