I think these essays show that Rough Stone Rolling has moved the discussion of Joseph Smith up a couple of notches, now engaging Smith and his novel contributions rather than simply minimizing or dismissing him.<br /><br />Surprisingly, the essays seem to show new and unexpected ways to approach Joseph rather than some sort of emerging consensus in the wake of Bushman's book. At the very least, it shows there is a lot of interesting discussion and analysis that can be done without having to confront or engage LDS faith claims as such (which, until recently, was generally in the foreground of any discussion of Joseph Smith).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798358592837088824noreply@blogger.com
