Bushman</a> </li> </ul> <hr> <p><a href="https://gregkofford.com/blogs/news/preview-tpjs"><strong>Preview the volume.</strong></a></p> <hr> <h4>Book Description:</h4> <p>For nearly a century, <em>Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith</em>, first published in 1938, was the standard source for studying the profound teachings and revelations of the founding prophet of the Restoration. Drawing on a rich collection of sermons, letters, and journal entries, <em>Teachings </em>provided Latter-day Saints with an accessible compilation of Joseph Smith’s revelatory doctrines that highlighted his unique ability to make heavenly concepts accessible to everyday people.</p> <p><em>The Revised and Expanded Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith: Compared with the Earliest Known Manuscripts</em> offers readers not only a preservation of Joseph Fielding Smith’s original compilation but also a side-by-side comparison with the primary sources that it was based on. With modern scholarship shedding new light on these sources, the updated volume allows readers to explore both the Prophet Joseph Smith’s revelatory insights and the historical context in which his teachings were first shared. This balanced approach honors the enduring legacy of the original <em>Teachings </em>while encouraging deeper exploration and understanding of their origins.<br></p> <hr> <h4>Praise for <em>The Revised and Expanded Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith</em>:</h4> <blockquote> <p>“I grew up with the famed <em>Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith</em> compiled by Joseph Fielding Smith and published in 1938.  The volume was the best access we had to Joseph Smith’s teachings beyond the revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants. And they were rich, wonderful, provocative words that sent my mind spinning off in all directions. Then to my dismay, scholars let us know the words were not entirely Joseph Smith’s.  They were pieced together by later historians from a variety of sources and could not be trusted as being exactly his. Suddenly this mainstay source became unusable. <span style="color: rgb(230, 230, 230);">Now, thanks to careful and exhaustive scholarship of Alonzo Gaskill and Richard Moore, <em>Teachings </em>has been resuscitated.  Gaskill and Moore tell us exactly where the words come from and much more. We now have a trustworthy source of Joseph Smith’s thought to match the revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants.</span>” —<a href="http://gregkofford.com/collections/richard-l-bushman">Richard L.
