Joseph Smith, Jr.'s quotes
About Joseph Smith, Jr.
He was a man who claimed a divine vision sparked a new American faith. In the 1820s, Joseph Smith said he was led to ancient golden plates, which he translated into The Book of Mormon. As the founder and first prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he built a religious movement that grew rapidly amidst both fervent devotion and fierce opposition. His life and teachings remain the bedrock of the global Mormon faith, inspiring millions. (1805-1844).
