I never traded photocopies of photocopies of historical docu- ments. I only know of the most scandalous shenanigans in the field through my reading of secondary treatments such as Tur- ley’s Victims1 and my own limited sleuthing of such primary sourc- es as issues of the Seventh East Press and federal court records. I did start researching in the old LDS Church Archives on the first f loor of the Church Office Building in 2006 and I have some- times been denied access to materials requested, but I personally only know a field of increasing access, openness, and—as evi- denced by the Joseph Smith Papers Project—institutional support. Documents are the foundation of Mormon history. Some- times the content of a historical document is so important or the demand is sufficient to warrant the distribution of simple or un- critical typescripts.

  • Using the Joseph Smith Papers Website: an Introduction
    Using the Joseph Smith Papers Website: An Introduction nathan n. waite Nathan N. Waite ([email protected]) is an associate editorial manager for the Joseph Smith Papers Project. here is something special about original historical documents. I have seen Tit again and again in my own life and in sharing my work on The Joseph Smith Papers with others: people are drawn to the tangible connection to the past provided by these seemingly ordinary, often faded pages. As the Library of Congress puts it, “Primary sources help students relate in a personal way to events of the past and promote a deeper understanding of history as a series of human events.”1 They inspire people to find out more, to think critically about what they read, and to take responsibility for their own learning. In the context of the Restoration, history is more than appreciating our shared heritage or learning about important people from the past. It is the continuation of the epic story of the Fall, the Redemption, and our path back to our Heavenly Parents. The records of Church history, includingThe Joseph Smith Papers, are our link to the events of the Restoration. They are written remnants of God’s hand in the lives of his children, every bit as much as were “History, circa Summer 1832,” p. 3, The Joseph Smith Papers, https://www. josephsmithpapers.org/pa- per-summary/history-cir- ca-summer-1832/3. per-summary/history-cir- josephsmithpapers.org/pa- https://www.

There were four human figures, together with some two or more rolls of papyrus covered with hieroglyphic figures and devices.”¹ July 6–8 Joseph Smith’s history: “with W. W. Phelps and Oliver Cowdery as scribes, I commenced the translation of some of the characters or hieroglyphics, and much to our joy found that one of the rolls contained the writings of Abraham, another the writings of Joseph of Egypt.”² July John Whitmer: “About the first of July I835 there came a man having four Egyptian Mummies exhibiting them for curiosities, which was a wonder indeed having also some records connected with them which were found deposited with the Mummies, but there being no one skilled in the Egyptian language therefore [he] could not translate the record, after this exhibition Joseph the Seer saw these Record[s] and by the revelation of Jesus Christ could translate these records, which gave an account of our forefathers, . Much of which was written by Joseph of Egypt who was sold by his brethren Which when all translated will be a pleasing history and of great value to the saints.”³ 1. History of the Church 2:235.

  • Opening the Heavens: Seventy-Six Accounts of Joseph Smith's
    Desk in the room of the restored John Johnson home, Hiram, Ohio, in which “The Vision,” now known as Doctrine and Covenants 76, was received con- currently by Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon. Courtesy John W. Welch. Seventy-six Accounts of Joseph Smith’s Visionary Experiences Alexander L. Baugh oseph Smith the seer ushered in the dispensation of the fullness of Jtimes. His role was known and prophesied of anciently. The Lord promised Joseph of Egypt that in the last days a “choice seer” would come through his lineage and would bring his seed to a knowledge of the covenants made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (2 Ne. 3:7; jst Gen. 50:27–28). “That seer will the Lord bless,” Joseph prophesied, specifi- cally indicating that “his name shall be called after me” (2 Ne. 3:14–15; see also jst Gen. 50:33). Significantly, in the revelation received dur- ing the organizational meeting of the Church on April 6, 1830, the first title given to the first elder was that of seer: “Behold, there shall be a record kept . and in it thou [Joseph Smith] shalt be called a seer, a translator, a prophet, an apostle of Jesus Christ” (D&C 21:1). In the Book of Mormon, Ammon defined a seer as one who pos- sessed “a gift from God” to translate ancient records (Mosiah 8:13; see also 28:11–16). However, the seeric gift is not limited to translation, hence Ammon’s additional statement that “a seer is a revelator and a prophet also; and a gift which is greater can no man have” (Mosiah 8:16).

Salt Lake City: The Church Historian’s Press, 2008 Reviewed by James B. Allen everal years ago, when I heard that the Joseph Smith Papers Project S was approved for publication, I was delighted for at least two reasons. First, I considered Joseph Smith’s papers to be the most valuable resource extant for researching early Latter-day Saint history. Making them avail- able to all would enhance the accuracy of future scholarship. Second, it would be clear that the Church had nothing to hide concerning Joseph Smith. For too long, stories had circulated that the archives were closed, and the Church History Department did not allow access to important documents.

  • Apocalypticism in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
    religions Article A Moderate Millenarianism: Apocalypticism in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Joseph M. Spencer Department of Ancient Scripture, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA; [email protected] Received: 27 March 2019; Accepted: 15 May 2019; Published: 25 May 2019 Abstract: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the largest and arguably best-known branch of the Restoration movement begun by Joseph Smith, sustains a complex but living relationship to nineteenth-century marginal millenarianism and apocalypticism. At the foundations of this relationship is a consistent interest in the biblical Book of Revelation exhibited in the earliest Latter-Day Saint scriptural texts. The Book of Mormon (1830) affirms that apocalyptic visionary experiences like John’s in the New Testament have occurred throughout history and even contains a truncated account of such a vision. It also predicts the emergence in late modernity of a fuller and uncorrupted account of such an apocalyptic vision, with the aim of clarifying the biblical Book of Revelation. In addition, however, Smith received an apocalyptic vision of his own in 1832 and produced a vision report that suggests that he understood The Book of Mormon’s anticipations of apocalyptic clarification to come as much through ecstatic experience as through the emergence of new apocalyptic texts. In 1842, Smith created a ritualized version of his own apocalyptic experience, a temple liturgy that remains authoritative into the present. This lies behind the moderate apocalypticism of twenty-first century Latter-Day Saint religious experience. Keywords: apocalypticism; Book of Revelation; Mormonism; the Book of Mormon; visionary experience; ritual An astonishingly large number of small religious groups trace their origins to the American apocalyptic prophet Joseph Smith (for a good survey, see Bringhurst and Hamer 2007).

  • A Conversation with Max H. Parkin 95
    94 Mormon Historical Studies Max H. Parkin as a member of the Salt Lake LDS Institute of Religion faculty, 1980. Photograph courtesy Salt Lake LDS Institute of Religion. Baugh: A Conversation with Max H. Parkin 95 Mormonism’s Remarkable History: A Conversation with Max H. Parkin Interview by Alexander L. Baugh I first became acquainted with Max Parkin’s research and writings while I was a graduate student in history at Brigham Young University. As part of my coursework I read his master’s thesis, “The Nature and Cause of Internal and External Conflict of the Mormons in Ohio between 1830 and 1838” (Brigham Young University, 1966), and his doctoral dissertation, “A History of the Lat- ter-day Saints in Clay County, Missouri, from 1833 to 1837” (Brigham Young University, 1976). I considered both studies to be exceptional, but I was par- ticularly intrigued with his dissertation. In fact, my reading of three “Mis- souri” dissertations—Max’s, Warren A. Jennings “Zion is Fled: The Expul- sion of the Mormons from Jackson County, Missouri” (University of Florida, 1962), and Leland H. Gentry, “A History of the Latter-day Saints in Northern Missouri from 1836 to 1839” (Brigham Young University, 1965)—stimulated my own research interest in the Missouri period of early Mormon history (1831–1839). In the early 1990s, while researching and writing my own dissertation on the 1838 Missouri-Mormon War, as historical questions would arise, I would frequently contact Max to get his take on things. These conversations and interchanges led to a warm, collegial friendship. On a number of other occa- sions he opened his research files and shared any materials I asked for or that ALEX A NDER L.

  • Byu Religious Education FALL 2010 REVIEW
    byu religious education FALL 2010 REVIEW CALENDAR COMMENTS INTERVIEWS & SPOTLIGHTS STUDENT & TEACHER UPDATES BOOKS Robert J. Matthews A Teacher Come from God message from the deans’ office “Seek Ye Out of the Best Books” Recently, while visiting family and friends in Canada, I met with a middle-aged couple who are fine members of the Church. They shared the sad news that all three of their children are no longer active, a heavy burden for these good parents to carry. The children had drifted away because of high school and college secular influences, the choice of friends with differing values and contrasting belief systems, and the lack of a seminary and institute program in their far-distant branch. My mind immediately reverted to Doctrine and Covenants 88:118: “And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith.” Faith is a precious commodity, a marvelous gift that the world delights in trampling upon. As Church educators, we are commissioned and commanded to nurture faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in the rising generation through living the gospel ourselves and studying the writings and experiences of others. We cannot teach what we do not know, and the Lord expects us to be readers and sharers, teachers and scholars. We are encouraged, if not mandated, to study, to research—or in scriptural terminology—to “seek . diligently . out of the best books.” Our colleague Professor Larry Dahl once wrote of this artful combination of teaching and scholarship and how each complements the other.
