5) No man knows my history: the life of Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet

Irenaeus, Joseph Smith, and God-Making Heresy analyzes the relationship between experiences of religious persecution and the development of complex belief systems entailing deification.

7) Joseph Smith: history, methods, and memory

In 1823 a young man named Joseph Smith had an encounter with an angel who led him to a cache of golden plates purporting to be the history of the lost tribes of Israel. Out of these new gospels and out of Smith's own charismatic personality and sense of mission- arose an authentically American religion, the Mormon faith.

"Joseph Smith studies have long been shaped by the polemical atmosphere that surrounds Smith's claims of and to divine authorship. Even after a half-century of serious scholarship, fundamental questions remain about how to best interpret features of Smith's life and writing. Smith's own "History of Joseph Smith" (edited and revised at the beginning of the twentieth century by B. H. Roberts) created an enduring image of the man and influenced Mormon...
