Underwood explores in greater depth Bushman's injunction to study Joseph Smith from a global perspective. He suggests a number of alternate histories in which to view the Prophet, including millenarianism and biblical primitivism of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and he even finds similarities with the literary and prophetic tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Underwood then concludes by cautioning comparative historians against exaggerated or inappropriate parallelism and against making comparative evaluations without adequate understanding of both sides of the comparison.
