Joseph Smith Jr. is de oprichter van de Latter Day Saint-beweging, algemeen bekend als het Mormons. Zijn openbaringen en organisatorische inspanningen hebben het religieuze en politieke landschap van zijn tijd diepgaand gevormd. Smith verkondigde goddelijke leiding bij het samenstellen van het Boek van Mormon, een fundamentele tekst die door miljoenen aanhangers wereldwijd wordt vereerd. Zijn nalatenschap als profeet en leider blijft resoneren bij zijn volgelingen.
The Book of Mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible. It is a record of God's dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and contains, as does the Bible, the fulness of the everlasting gospel.
"A daring novel that achieves the most difficult of challenges: to alter slightly the world for the reader." The Observer"Smith reaches a crucial point: there is a bit of wolf in each of us." Time Out"I'm the wolf, the reaper of life: the predator. I attack with my eyes open and see death bright and fierce jump on the look of my prey. I'm the wolf, the shadow that brings the light of death, a life that gives freedom fearful and wrestlers in droves and ending the suffering of the weak. I have been with many to hear their last breaths, to hold them, to bring them down, to rip them as they moan and fight for the life which they had discarded and forgotten to live, to warm and reawaken them finally within the fire of its end."
