A human being, not a mythic figure—How this new book approaches learning about the Prophet Joseph Smith's life

By Excerpted from “Know Brother Joseph” edited by R. Eric Smith, Matthew C. Godfrey, Matthew J. Grow

When the angel Moroni first visited Joseph Smith in 1823, he said that Joseph’s name would be known for good and evil throughout the world.

As we write this in April 2020, the Church just completed a general conference that celebrated the Restoration. During this conference, the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles released a “Bicentennial Proclamation to the World” that shared their solemn witness of Joseph’s role in the “restoration of the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
