Stirs deeper questions about American religious convictions and how they shape lives and culture." -The Christian Science Monitor "An exhaustively researched and beautifully written biography of Mormonism's enigmatic founder."-Christianity Today "Fascinating. . . .Bushman captures all the harrowing events of Smith's short life, rife with converts and cabals, while meticulously dissecting the revelations that continue to haunt the Smith story." -The Providence Journal "Well-researched and lucidly written. . . .

The book is prodigiously researched, carefully argued, and elegantly written. In its pages Joseph Smith emerges as neither hero nor charlatan, but as a strangely gifted yet thoroughly believable product of his time and place." --Grant Wacker, author of Heaven Below: Early Pentecostals and American Culture "Hands down, this is the most balanced and informed study of American's larger-than-life Prophet and Seer, Joseph Smith. It is also an important history of the founding era of Mormonism's founding era. Rough Stone Rolling is for insiders and outsiders alike, a landmark in Mormon writing and a contribution to American religious studies. It has grace, style, and intelligence-and quiet piety and frank honesty, too." --Ronald W. Walker, author of Mormon History "Clearly the definitive biography for generations to come. Most balanced, thorough, and insightful treatment to date--truly a masterful work. Wonderfully grounded in its interpretations. Wise in its judgments, penetrating in its analysis, and rich in historical and cultural detail without ever losing sight of its subject. Bushman does full justice to this most complex and influential of all American religious innovators." --Terryl Givens, author of The Latter-Day Saint Experience in America "This biography recasts the study of Joseph Smith for the next generation. Bushman, a distinguished historian and faithful believer, legitimizes Smith as a modern prophet and seeks the measure of this enigmatic man. The volume challenges readers to reconcile Smith's remarkable religious accomplishments with his often seemingly self-serving personal actions." --Stephen Stein, author of The Shaker Experience in America "At last a Joseph Smith to which Mormons and non-Mormons alike can relate. Meticulously researched, beautifully written, and gripping in its narrative detail, this is Richard Bushman at his vintage best. There is no question that this biography is the best book ever written about Mormonism's founding father, and America's greatest home-grown prophet." --Harry Stout, author of The Divine Dramatist: George Whitefield and the Rise of Modern Evangelicalism "Richard Bushman's profound scholarly knowledge of American society and culture shapes and suffuses this magisterial product of his life-long quest to interpret the early Mormon movement for skeptics and believers alike. His definitive biography of the Mormon prophet supersedes all previous studieshagiographic and criticalof this American original." --John F.
