  • Automatic Writing and the Book of Mormon: an Update
    ARTICLES AND ESSAYS AUTOMATIC WRITING AND THE BOOK OF MORMON: AN UPDATE Brian C. Hales At a Church conference in 1831, Hyrum Smith invited his brother to explain how the Book of Mormon originated. Joseph declined, saying: “It was not intended to tell the world all the particulars of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.”1 His pat answer—which he repeated on several occasions—was simply that it came “by the gift and power of God.”2 Attributing the Book of Mormon’s origin to supernatural forces has worked well for Joseph Smith’s believers, then as well as now, but not so well for critics who seem certain natural abilities were responsible. For over 180 years, several secular theories have been advanced as explanations.3 The more popular hypotheses include plagiarism (of the Solomon Spaulding manuscript),4 collaboration (with Oliver Cowdery, Sidney Rigdon, etc.),5 1.

Entered, according to Act of Cougress, in the year 1S67, by POMEEOT TUCKEE, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of New Tork. PREFACE MoRMONiSM, in its progress and maturity, has attained a conspicuous page in the annals of our century. Yet a fiiU account of the remarkable sect, beginning v/ith its origin and rise, and circumstantially disclosing the earlier designs and delusions of its founders, has hitherto re- mained unwritten. The facts and reminiscences contained in this volume, based upon the author's personal knowl- edge and information, are produced to fill the blank and supply the omitted chapters in Mormon history. Chronologically tracing the Church of Latter-D^y Saints, from its singularly humble starting-point, through a wonderfully successful career of domination by crafty leaders over blind infatuation, to its assumed dignity of a newly-revealed gospel dispensation, with its extraordinary hierarchal powers and pretensions, this truthfal narrative is necessary to the completion of the history from the foundation of the institution.

  • The First Vision Controversy: a Critique and Reconciliation*
    The First Vision Controversy: A Critique and Reconciliation* Marvin S. Hill EVER SINCE FAWN BRODIE WROTE NO Man Knows My History in 1946, em- phatically denying there was any valid evidence that Joseph Smith expe- rienced a visitation from the Father and the Son in 1820, an enormous amount of energy has been expended by both scoffers and Latter-day Saints to disprove or prove the first vision story. Until recently, both sides have agreed that the truth or untruth of Mormonism was at stake, and neither side has conceded merit to the opposing point of view.1 It is my purpose here to review the issues and arguments, and offer a critique and a tentative interpretation based on available evidence, hopefully rec- onciling some of the disagreements while also giving fair consideration to the various accounts written by Joseph Smith. Brodie argues that Joseph Smith fabricated his vision in 1838 when he began dictating his history, in order to provide a starting point for his prophetic career and to counter the charge that he was a money digger and charlatan-turned-prophet. She quotes part of the vision, noting that after a revival, at the age of fourteen, Joseph Smith said he sought divine guidance in a wooded grove: I kneeled down and began to offer up the desires of my heart to God. I had scarcely done so, when immediately I was seized upon by some power which entirely overcame me. .Thick darkness gathered around me. .at this moment of great alarm, I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head..

  • Joseph Smith and the Creation of the Book of Mormon A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Performing Revelation: Joseph Smith and the Creation of The Book of Mormon A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Theater and Performance Studies by William Davis 2016 © Copyright by William Davis 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Performing Revelation: Joseph Smith’s Oral Performance of The Book of Mormon by William Davis Doctor of Philosophy in Theater and Performance Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Michael Colacurcio, Co-Chair Professor Michael Hackett, Co-Chair In 1830, Joseph Smith Jr. published The Book of Mormon and subsequently founded a new American religion. According to Smith, The Book of Mormon represented the English translation of an authentic record, written in “Reformed Egyptian,” concerning ancient Israelites who migrated to the Americas in approximately 600 B.C.E. Smith’s purported translation of this sacred history, however, did not occur by traditional means. Rather than directly consulting the record and providing an English rendition, Smith employed a method of divination by placing a “seer stone” into the bottom of his hat, holding the hat to his face to shut out all light, and then he proceeded to dictate the entire text of The Book of Mormon in an extended oral performance, without the aid of notes or manuscripts. By his side, Smith’s scribes wrote down the entire text verbatim in the moment Smith uttered them. As a result, at over 500 printed pages, The Book of Mormon stands as one of the longest recorded oral performances in the history of the United States.

  • LDS Perspectives Podcast
    LDS Perspectives Podcast The Lost 116 Pages – Don Bradley This is not a verbatim transcript. Some grammar and wording has been modified for clarity. Brian Hales: Hi, this is Brian Hales here with LDS Perspectives Podcast. We are here with Don Bradley who is a professional researcher who has recently finished his master’s thesis in history from Utah State University. He has presented at many scholarly conferences and has co-authored chapters in books like Persistence of Polygamy on the topic of polygamy. He’s also co-authored a chapter in Laura Harris Hales’s A Reason for Faith, but that chapter was on the Kinderhook plates. Now, we are here with Don to talk about the Book of Mormon’s lost 116 pages, which he is using for the title of his new book that will be published by Greg Kofford books. There aren’t too many LDS scholars who could talk authoritatively on three such diverse topics, but Don can do it, and we’re excited to have him here with us today. Don, why don’t you give us a little background on what got you interested in the lost 116 pages. Don Bradley: Sure. Hey there, Brian, my friend, it’s good to be with you. Brian Hales: Yes, it’s great. Don Bradley: This project has a long history. I’ve actually done research on the lost 116 pages for about 13 years, and my interest in the lost pages goes back much further, actually to when I was a kid. The lost 116 pages are what you might call a “conspicuous sacred absence,” so every Mormon primary child knows about the lost 116 pages, but nobody knows what was in them.

    THE SPALDING THEORY THEN AND NOW LESTER E. BUSH, JR. But now a most singular & delicate subject presented itself for consideration. Seven young women we had on board, as passengers, to visit certain friends they had in Britain—Three of them were ladies of rank, and the rest were healthy bucksom Lasses.—Whilst deliberating on this subject a mariner arose whom we called droll Tom—Hark ye shipmates says he, Whilst tossed on the foming billows what brave son of neptune had any more regard for a woman than a sturgeon, but now we are all safely anchored on Terra firma—our sails furled & ship keeled up, I have a huge longing for some of those rosy dames—But willing to take my chance with my shipmates—I propose that they should make their choise of husbands. The plan was instantly adopted. As the chois [sic] fell on the young women they held a consultation on the subject. & in a short time made known the result— Droll Tom was rewarded for his benevolent proposal with one of the most sprightly rosy dames in the company.—Three other of the most cheerful resolute mariners were chosen by the other three buxhum Lasses—The three young Ladies fixed their choise on the Captain the mate & myself. The young Lady who chose me for a partner was possessed of every attractive charm both of body & mind—We united heart & hand with the fairest prospect of enjoying every delight & satisfaction which are attendant on the connubial State.
