"This study advances a new paradigm for interpreting the body of literature produced by Joseph Smith and understood by him to have divine origins, namely the texts known today as the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants. Additionally, this study establishes the groundwork for an intertextual analysis of Smith’s corpus with the Prologue of the Gospel of John. This study will suggest that Smith composed his 'scripture' through a detailed 'deconstruction' and 'reconstruction' of the Bible, and that in doing so a dialogue was created between the Bible and Smith’s own 'restoration scripture.' Significantly, by utilizing passages from the Johannine Prologue in various ways, various levels of dialogue were also created. This study suggests that these differing levels of dialogues can be classified in four ways : Rhetorical, Balanced, Expanded, and Inverted." [Author]
