“The Joseph Smith Papers project is the single most significant historical project of our generation.” — Elder Marlin K. Jensen, LDS Church Historian

\r\r

The Joseph Smith Papers, Journals, Volume 1: 1832-1839 features Joseph Smith__s first five journals. These documents give the reader an appreciation for Joseph Smith__s character, his private piety, and his sense of mission. The Joseph Smith Papers, Journals, Volume 1: 1832-1839 also convey Joseph Smith__s perspective on the spiritual manifestations experienced in the Kirtland, Ohio, temple, the origins of the _Mormon War_ in Missouri, and the founding of what would become Nauvoo, Illinois — the Mormon city on the Mississippi.

\r\r

\r\r

\r\rThe Joseph Smith Papers project will eventually constitute approximately 30 volumes, organized into six series. With access to texts not previously available, and certainly never in one collection, the Joseph Smith Papers project provides new information and insights about Joseph Smith, early Mormonism, and nineteenth-century American religion.

\r\r

\r\rDocuments include correspondence, journal entries, revelations, translations, discourses, official histories, court cases, and business dealings — qualitatively researched and carefully annotated.

Though most of the substance of Volume 1 in the Journal series was previously publised by Scott Faulring (Signature Books) or Dean C. Jessee (Deseret Book), the editing standards and annotations have improved dramatically. It is probably worth the price. Once all of the volumes of the Journals series are published, you'll be able to dispose of the earlier, more limited edits of JS Journals. Later volumes should have more content that has not been published previously. If you are looking for something never before published, purchase Volume 1 of the Revelation series, due in the fall of 2009. This will have the earliest known manuscripts of most of what is now the Doctrine & Covenants, some of which has never been published before.
