Gunderson argues that "within a significantly brief span of time, Joseph Smith Jr. first produced, proclaimed, and then effectively dismissed the Book of Mormon as the source of authoritative religious doctrine." He never denied the Book of Mormon, but "he simply stopped using it." He contends that Joseph Smith "rightly discerned that the Book of Mormon was brought forth by the gift and power of God." However in his later career, Joseph sometimes tried to press this gift of prophecy "into the service of his own agenda." When he did that he "became increasingly fallible and Joseph was increasingly left to his own devices and imagination."
