Ben Crowder "The Story of 'Mormonism' and The Philosophy of 'Mormonism'" by James E. Talmage is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the origins, development, and belief systems of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly known as the Mormon Church). It explores the life of the founder Joseph Smith, the challenges faced by early adherents, and the establishment of the Church as an institution within American society. The opening of the book introduces the context of "Mormonism," emphasizing that its roots extend beyond the commonly perceived narrative centered around Utah. Talmage begins with a brief background on Joseph Smith, detailing his early life, the circumstances surrounding his religious revelations, and the resulting formation of the Church. He outlines the foundational spiritual experiences that shaped the perceptions of early Mormons, illustrating the intense religious turmoil of the time. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the relationship between Mormonism's history and its philosophical underpinnings, as well as the societal challenges faced by the Latter-day Saints.
