Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Smith Jr. was born in 1805 in the state of Vermont, acquiring his father traits of being a gold digger and from his mother, superstition and involvement in witchcraft and the occult. During his younger years while trying to decide which denomination he should join he was told by "Jesus" that he should not join any of them because they were all abominations. As he continued his search, he received a burning in his bosom while receiving several visits from an angel Moroni, from which he was also given a set of golden plates. They were later translated in 1830 into the Book of Mormon and the Mormon church or The Church of Latter-Day Saints was established. Because Joseph Smith Jr. was a liar, a plagiarist, a racist, involved in witchcraft and the occult and had multiple relations with other church members wives, he was finally murdered by his own members in 1844. His life may have ended abruptly but the LDS church continued to grow and make money.

This is definitely a book you need to complete your library.
Download or read book Joseph Smith and the Beginnings of Mormonism written by Richard L. Bushman and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1987-01-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The core of Mormon belief was a conviction about actual events. The test of faith was not adherence to a certain confession of faith but belief that Christ was resurrected, that Joseph Smith saw God, that the Book of Mormon was true history, and tht Peter, James, and John restored the apostleship. Mormonism was history, not philosophy. It is as history that Richard L. Bushman analyzes the emergence of Mormonism in the early nineteenth century. Bushman, however, brings to his study a unique set of credentials - he is both a prize-winning historian and a faithful member of the Latter-day Saints church. For Mormons and non-Mormons alike, then, his book provides a very special perspective on an endlessly fascinating subject. Building upon previous accounts and incorporating recently discovered contemporary sources, Bushman focuses on the first twenty-five years of Joseph Smith's life - up to his move to Kirtland, Ohio, in 1831. Bushman shows how the rural Yankee culture of New England and New York - especially evangelical revivalism, Christian rationalism, and folk magic - both influenced and hindered the formation of Smith's new religion. Mormonism, Bushman argues, must be seen not only as the product of this culture, but also as an independent creation based on the revelations of its charismatic leader. In the final analysis, it was Smith's ability to breathe new life into the ancient sacred stories and to make a sacred story out of his own life which accounted for his own extraordinary influence. By presenting Smith and his revelations as they were viewed by the early Mormons themselves, Bushman leads us to a deeper understanding of their faith.''A brilliant piece of research and writing by one of America's top historians. It is written with style and felicity, and it deals with all the difficult topics that must be probed in describing and interpreting the controversial early history of Mormonism. It is simply an outstanding work.''--Leonard J.

Download or read book Inventing Mormonism written by H. Michael Marquardt and published by Smith Research Associates. This book was released on 1998 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 150 years the story of Mormon origins has been rewritten to a point where only fragments remain of the original. This book restores much of the human drama and detail. Moving from village to village, the Joseph Smith, Sr., family lived in constant poverty. When in 1825 Joseph, Sr., a cooper, defaulted on the family's final mortgage payment, he and his nineteen-year-old son, Joseph Jr., traveled 100 miles south to Pennsylvania to join a band of money diggers on a desperate hunt for buried Spanish treasure. Following this ill-fated quest, father and son returned near-penniless to New York to face eviction. They resettled in a small Manchester cabin where young Joseph later saw angels-not unlike his father and other contemporaries-and eventually found hieroglyph-inscribed sheets of gold, which his former money-digging associates repeatedly tried to steal. During this turbulent time Joseph Smith was brought to court three times for crystal gazing, eloped with a former landlord's daughter, watched as his mother and siblings were excommunicated from the Presbyterian church, published his translation of the hieroglyphs, founded the Church of Christ, saw a potential convert forcibly abducted by her minister, and eventually sought refuge in Ohio where he changed the name of his church and its place of origin.
Download or read book The Angel and the Sorcerer written by Peter Levenda and published by Nicolas-Hays, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-11-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely exposé of Mormonism discusses the occult origins of the faith and places the prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. in his context as a sorcerer and Freemason. It is the story of an indigenous American religion whose origins are as strange as its beliefs and practices. The Angel and the Sorcerer explores some of the mysteries of Mormonism: plural marriage, baptism of the dead, and the genetic search for the Lost Tribes of Israel. It examines the career of its founder Joseph Smith, whose religious mission began with rituals of ceremonial magic and divination, and ended with an embrace of Freemasonry, the largest militia in the state of Illinois, a candidacy for U.S. president, and his assassination. Based on the author's research into Mormonism, Freemasonry and esoteric societies over the past thirty years, this book is intended for an audience that is curious about this unique faith and its political agenda. What will it mean for America to elect a Mormon as president?
Download or read book Joseph Smith and the Origins of The Book of Mormon 2d ed written by David Persuitte and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2010-07-27 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as a growing interest in millennialism at the turn of this century has rejuvenated religious debate and questions concerning the fate of the world, so did Mormonism develop from millennial enthusiasm early in the nineteenth century. Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, and a provocative, even controversial figure in history, declared that he had been given the authority to restore the true church in the latter days. The primary source of Smith's latter-day revelation is The Book of Mormon, and to fully understand his role as the founder of the Mormon faith, one must also understand The Book of Mormon and how it came to be. Unfortunately, the literature about Joseph Smith and The Book of Mormon is permeated with contradiction and controversy. In the first edition of this impressive work, David Persuitte provided a significant amount of revealing biographical information about Smith that resolved many of the controversies concerning his character. He also presented an extensive comparative analysis positing that the probable conceptual source for The Book of Mormon was a book entitled View of the Hebrews; or the Tribes of Israel in America, which was written by an early New England minister named Ethan Smith. Now in an expanded and revised second edition incorporating many new findings relating to the origin of The Book of Mormon, Mr. Persuitte's book continues to shed much new light on the path Joseph Smith took toward founding the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Download or read book The Angel and the Sorcerer written by Peter Levenda and published by Nicolas-Hays, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Levenda’s research into Mormonism, Freemasonry, and esoteric societies over the past thirty years, this book is intended for an audience that is curious about Mormonism in light of the fact that at the beginning of 2012 there were two Mormons running for the GOP presidential nomination against two Roman Catholics. There has been much confusion in the media over various Mormon phenomena, such as the “magic underwear,” polygamy “Big Love” style, and much else. This book examines the beliefs and reveals the facts of Mormon ideas and practice, starting with its founder Joseph Smith Jr. who began his religious career with rituals of ceremonial magic and divination, and ended it with Freemasonry, the largest militia in the state of Illinois, a candidacy for US president, and assassination. Levenda also discussed the Mormons connection to Howard Hughes, Richard Nixon and Watergate as well as the role of Mormons in contemporary Presidential elections. This is the fascinating story of a purely American religion, its occult origins, and the rise of Mormons in American politics.
