The surprising career of Joseph Smith's famous book Late one night
in 1823, Joseph Smith, Jr., was reportedly visited in his family's
farmhouse in upstate New York by an angel named Moroni. According
to Smith, Moroni told him of a buried stack of gold plates that
were inscribed with a history of the Americas' ancient peoples, and
which would restore the pure Gospel message as Jesus had delivered
it to them. Thus began the unlikely career of the Book of Mormon,
the founding text of the Mormon religion and perhaps the most
important sacred text ever to originate in the United States. Paul
Gutjahr traces the life of this remarkable book, showing how it
launched one of the fastest-growing new religions on the planet and
has featured in everything from comic books and action figures to
movies and an award-winning Broadway musical.
