Joseph Smith the Prophet-Teacher: A Discourse
Produced by the Mormon Texts Project. Volunteers: Ben Crowder, Meridith Crowder, Tod Robbins
"Joseph Smith the Prophet-Teacher: A Discourse by B. H. Roberts" is a historical discourse written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1908. Authored by B. H. Roberts, a prominent Latter-day Saint leader and historian, this book discusses the life and teachings of Joseph Smith Jr., the founder of the Latter-day Saint movement, also known as Mormonism. The discourse was delivered to commemorate the 102nd anniversary of Smith's birth and delves into his influence as a prophet and teacher of profound spiritual truths. The content of the book explores Joseph Smith's philosophical and religious doctrines in contrast to prevailing beliefs of his time. Roberts delineates Smith's contributions, such as his views on revelation, the nature of God, the purpose of life, and principles of salvation. The discourse argues that Smith not only corrected many errors in contemporary religious thought but also provided a fresh perspective on human existence and morality, presenting him as a significant figure in American history whose teachings have shaped the spiritual landscape. Through a combination of personal anecdotes and theological insights, Roberts positions Joseph Smith as a pivotal prophet whose legacy continues to influence millions.
