In this volume, fifteen scholars offer essays on how to interpret and understand Joseph Smith and his legacy.

With essays by both Mormons and non-Mormons, this wide-ranging collection is the finest survey of contemporary scholarly opinion on the extraordinary man who started one of the fastest-growing religious traditions in the modern world.
