The main reformer and innovator in American religious history, Joseph Smith has remained a fascinating enigma to numerous, both outside and inside the Mormon Church he founded. Born in 1805, Smith grew up through the "Second Great Awakening", when secular tumult had spawned radical religious fervor and many new sects. His contemplative nature and soaring imagination were nurtured in the close, loving family created by his deeply devout parents. His need to lead and be recognized was met by his mission as God's vehicle for a fresh faith and by the hundreds who, magnetized by his charm and charismatic preaching, gave rise to the Mormon Church.Remini's essential portrait contextualizes Smith's enduring contribution to American life and culture within the distinctive characteristics of an extraordinary age.
