Joseph Smith, the founding prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints and of the broader Latter-day Saint movement,
produced several volumes of scripture between 1829, when he
translated the Book of Mormon, and 1844, when he was murdered. The
Book of Mormon, published in 1830, is well known. Less read and
studied are the subsequent texts that Smith translated after the
Book of Mormon, texts that he presented as the writings of ancient
Old World and New World prophets. These works were published and
received by early Latter-day Saints as prophetic scripture that
included important revelations and commandments from God. This
collaborative volume is the first to study Joseph Smith's
translation projects in their entirety. In this carefully curated
collection, experts contribute cutting-edge research and incisive
analysis. The chapters explore Smith's translation projects in
focused detail and in broad contexts, as well as in comparison and
conversation with one another. Authors approach Smith's sacred
texts historically, textually, linguistically, and literarily to
offer a multidisciplinary view. Scrupulous examination of the
production and content of Smith's translations opens new avenues
for understanding the foundations of Mormonism, provides insight on
aspects of early American religious culture, and helps
conceptualize the production and transmission of sacred texts.
