Join CGU Mormon Studies and John Turner, who has recently authored a new biography of Joseph Smith, Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet (Yale University Press, 2025). Turner discusses why he believes it was time for a new biography, what recent research into the life of Joseph Smith he has discovered, and the place of Joseph Smith in the American religious landscape.
