History of Joseph Smith and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; A Source-and Text-Critical Edition — Dan Vogel — 8 Volume Set

Eight large sized volumes; as pictured. All volumes are very good and clean; vol. 2 has some wrinkling on the spine; but otherwise the set is quite nice.

Edited by Dan Vogel, a prominent but highly critical historian of early Mormonism, History of Joseph Smith and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: A Source- and Text-Critical Edition is an eight-volume scholarly examination of the documentary history of Joseph Smith and the early Latter-day Saint Church. Vogel is a former Latter-day Saint and now a nonbeliever whose writings take a critical, naturalistic approach to Joseph Smith and reject the supernatural claims of Mormonism. His edition traces the development of the traditional History of the Church, identifying the manuscripts, scribes, sources, and editorial changes involved in its creation. Despite Vogel’s anti-Mormon perspective, the set is a valuable research resource because it brings together extensive documentary evidence and provides detailed source and textual analysis for those wishing to examine the historical record for themselves.

NO FOREIGN ORDER ON THIS SET.
