Joseph Smith's Seer Stones
Description
When the Church released photos of the brown seer stone that was owned and
used by Joseph Smith, the news ignited a firestorm of curiosity and
controversy. People wanted more information and wondered why they hadn’t been
aware of the stone’s existence.This book discusses the origins of Joseph
Smith’s seer stones and explores how Joseph used them throughout his life in a
way that goes beyond translating the Book of Mormon. It also traces the
provenance of his stones once they left his possessions. The authors examine
how the Book of Mormon itself provides a storyline about the history of seer
stones and how this helped Joseph Smith learn about his own prophetic gifts.
