School of the Prophet
How the Lord Taught Joseph the Gospel
In School of the Prophet: Joseph Smith Learns the First Principles, Dr. Bennett shows us how Joseph Smith, the first convert and initial student of this “marvelous work and a wonder” (Isaiah 29:14), was taught by heavenly beings, refined in the fires of adversity, and firmly grounded in the saving principles and ordinances of the gospel. The preparation of the Prophet, including the translation and publication of the Book of Mormon and the restoration of priesthood authority, took time.
