5.0 out of 5 stars Standard Work on Joseph Smith., February 13, 2002

This review is from: Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith (Paperback)

This book is the best treasure house of Joseph Smith's teachings. In fact, it is an unofficial source of theology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It relies heavily on the rather bulky "History of the Church," but also has some documents that are not included in the official history. It is well organized, and these newer editions have the index compiled by Dr. Robert Matthews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Treasurehouse of Joseph Smith's Teachings!, August 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith (Paperback)

"Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith" is the most important book any Latter-day Saint can own, outside of the Scriptures. His early teachings from Kirtland to the last days at Nauvoo are chronologically recorded and easily accessed. Included the famous "King Folette Discoures," and June 16, 1844 sermon. This is Joseph Fielding Smith's most imporatnt work ever.

This review is from: Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith (Paperback)

Other than the scriptures, I would say this is the most important book a Latter-Day Saint could own. Joseph Smith definitely is The Prophet.

I love the way Joseph Fielding Smith edited the book. It is presented in topics. For example, the book will give a topic heading of 'No Peace But in Zion,' and then it gives a the teachings The Prophet gave on this topic. The book is kind of a best of Joseph's teachings organized into topics and themes.

Another point to make for those of you looking into buying this book, it isn't historic in nature, it is just the teachings of Joseph.
