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 \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Mormon, \u003c\/i\u003e and to fully understand his role as the founder of the Mormon faith, one must also understand \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Mormon\u003c\/i\u003e and how it came to be. Unfortunately, the literature about Joseph Smith and \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Mormon\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Mormon\u003c\/i\u003e was a book entitled \u003ci\u003eView of the Hebrews; or the Tribes of Israel in America\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Mormon\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTechnical writer and editor \u003cb\u003eDavid Persuitte\u003c\/b\u003e lives in Washington, D.C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.9 x 6.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 02, 2000\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42588912320608,"sku":"9780786408269","price":71.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/c3M0ZEJqZHNwS2dwbmc3WkZ6RGkyUT09.webp?v=1771293354","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/joseph-smith-and-the-origins-of-the-book-of-mormon-2d-ed-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
