"The Creation of Mormonism: Joseph Smith Jr. in the 1820s is the second volume of an epic multi-volume work entitled The Quest for the New Jerusalem: A Mormon Generational Saga, which combines ancestral, Mormon, and American history. This second volume focuses upon the events in the life of Joseph Smith, Jr., during the 1820s and early 1830s which led to his creation of the Mormon Church, and it ends with the conversion to Mormonism of the author's Carter ancestors in 1831-32. The author thoroughly describes the controversies surrounding Smith's visionary claims and makes judgments regarding their authenticity." [Publisher's abstract]
