Beschreibung

"History of the Prophet Joseph, by means of His Mother" is a extremely good autobiographical work penned by using Lucy Mack Smith, the mom of Joseph Smith Jr., the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). This influential book affords a completely unique and intimate perspective at the life and early stories of Joseph Smith, in addition to the challenges and triumphs of the Smith family. Lucy Smith's narrative starts along with her circle of relatives's religious journey and their eventual conversion to the beliefs of the LDS Church. She chronicles the early years of Joseph Smith, his encounters with heavenly messengers, and the interpretation of the Book of Mormon, a foundational textual content of the LDS Church. The book also discusses the family's trials and persecution as they sought to set up their faith within the face of competition. This firsthand account gives readers a deeper knowledge of the private sacrifices and unwavering religion of the Smith family within the tumultuous early days of the LDS Church. Lucy Smith's storytelling style is each engaging and informative, providing precious ancient insights into the origins of Mormonism and the man or woman of Joseph Smith as visible via the eyes of his dedicated mother.

Autor

Lucy Mack Smith (July 8, 1775 - May 14, 1856) was the mother of Latter-day Saint founder Joseph Smith. She is most known for her book, Biographical Sketches of Joseph Smith, the Prophet, and His Progenitors for Many Generations, and she was a key figure in the movement during Joseph's lifetime. Lucy Mack was born in Gilsum, New Hampshire, on July 8, 1775, amid a period of political, economic, and social revolution. The second part of the eighteenth century saw a gradual transformation in the roles of the American family. Even if the Revolutionary War accelerated the transition, the primary impetus came from the shifting economic landscape. Women's historian Linda Kerber claims that the expanding market economy and "industrial technology reshaped the contours of domestic labor" (7). Because of this change toward commercialism, the father's work became more distant from the family, and the mother assumed the father's traditional position of final responsibility for the children's education and moral and religious formation (Bloch, 113). Mothers were lauded as "the chief transmitters of religious and moral values" in magazines and educational media (Bloch, 101).
