Reviews

[Jonathan Hardy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was an interesting a read with great insights but was dry and more academic than what I was hoping for. I think you can get a lot of what you will find interesting out of a summary and I would only recommend if you love getting into the nitty gritty of conjecture.

I read this book in preparation for the April 2020 general conference. It was helpful in giving a scriptural and historical context for Joseph Smith’s work.

This book is out of print and is pretty expensive to obtain. Great information relative to Joseph in Egypt and material relative to Joseph Smith (Messiah ben Joseph).
