Charismatic Prophet: Joseph Smith, 1831-1839
When Joseph Smith first arrived in Kirtland, Ohio, he had only recently established a church and brought forth a new book of scripture, the Book of Mormon. After relocating the church and most of its members from western New York and setting up its headquarters in Kirtland, while simultaneously establishing his Zion in communities in Missouri, he oversaw a decade marked by both peace and prosperity, as well as chaos and conflict.
But who exactly was Joseph Smith, and what motivated him? In examining Smith's life during his Ohio and Missouri sojourns, Vogel seeks to answer these questions. However, Vogel is quick to note that "there are, in fact, many possible constructions of Joseph Smith, and depending on how one assesses the evidence for his truth-claims, a completely different Joseph Smith emerges. But this is probably as Smith wanted it."
During this period, Smith established a temple, printing presses, additional scripture, expanded church offices, and built a bank – all of which point to a sense of permanence and strength for his young church at one level, while also contributing to its near collapse at another.
After moving the church and most of its members from western New York and establishing its headquarters at Kirtland, Smith simultaneously established his Zion in communities in Missouri. This dual focus – on building up the church in Kirtland and simultaneously establishing his Zion in Missouri – marked a decade of both peace and prosperity, as well as chaos and conflict, for Smith and his followers.
Vogel's examination of Smith's life during this time seeks to shed light on the motivations and complexities of this enigmatic figure. As Vogel notes, "there are, in fact, many possible constructions of Joseph Smith, and depending on how one assesses the evidence for his truth-claims, a completely different Joseph Smith emerges. But this is probably as Smith wanted it."
Smith's actions during this period – from establishing a temple and printing presses to expanding church offices and building a bank – all point to a sense of permanence and strength for his young church. Yet, these same actions also contributed to the near collapse of the church, highlighting the inherent tensions and challenges that Smith navigated during this turbulent time.
