Joseph Smith's New England Heritage

Richard Lloyd Anderson, Salt Lake City, Utah: Deseret Book and the Smith Institute, 2002 revised edition, 6x9.25" hardbound, 301 pages. ISBN: 1573459992

Joseph Smith himself said, "Civil and religious liberty were diffused into my soul by my grandfathers while they dandled me on their knees." It was this heritage that molded Joseph Smith to be the restorer of ChristÆs own Church on the earth in the latter days.

Author and JFSI Senior Fellow Richard Lloyd Anderson reminds us that the Church started with a family. Now we can share with our own families the ProphetÆs familyÆs faith and love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Doing so will undoubtedly strengthen our own.

Dr. Anderson received his Ph.D. from the University of California (Berkeley) and is Professor Emeritus of Ancient Scripture at BYU. He is senior research fellow at the Joseph Fielding Smith Institute for Latter-day Saint History at BYU, where he taught New Testament and Church history for four decades. With doctorates in both law and history, he is a scholars' scholar.

His passion for history has profoundly influenced his scholarly career; his passion for order and system has shaped his missionary work and directed his into studying law; and his love for Brigham Young University and loyalty to its mission and destiny have guided his academic path. He is a respected specialist on the lives of Joseph Smith and of the Book of Mormon witnesses.
