SALT LAKE CITY — President Dallin H. Oaks, first counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, announced Friday that a new biography is being written about church founder Joseph Smith.
The book's announcement came during President Oaks' remarks on the opening day of the seventh annual Joseph Smith Papers Conference. "I can say categorically that the Joseph Smith papers are now the single most important resource for studying the life of the Prophet Joseph Smith," Turley said. "The magisterial Joseph Smith papers have laid a firm foundation for the new biography 'Joseph the Prophet,' and other future biographies of the Prophet and his associates."
"No other documentary editing project can match this record of high-quality volumes produced in such a short period of time," President Oaks said.President Oaks also thanked Utah philanthropists Larry and Gail Miller for their contributions to the Joseph Smith Papers during the conference Friday, saying it would not have been possible without their donations.
