Product description: Joseph Smith is familiar with the roles of prophet, seer, translator, leader, and many others. But- as a scientist? In this book, an eminent LDS scientist sets out some of Joseph Smith's statements in relation to known scientific law. On significant topics like astronomy, intelligence, and the law of evolution he demonstrates in his gifted style the basic harmony between the Prophet's utterances and the findings of science. Joseph Smith's contributions on certain "religious" subjects- repentance, faith and baptism, for example- receive similar treatment. This is in keeping with the book's inspiring the laws of science and those of religion are all part of the grand scheme of things organzied by the great Lawgiver. Joseph Smith had no scientific training. Whence then this consistent accuracy in this unfamiliar field? By sharply focussing his words this outstanding book here reprinted brings the scientist and the religionist to complete agreement as it underlines yet again Joseph Smith's major role- his inspired, prophetic calling. Originally written more than half a century ago, this book continues to make a stimulating and intensely rewarding reading. Format:Hardcover Author:Widtsoe, John A.
