Joseph Smith as Scientist

About this book

Joseph Smith as Scientist-A Contribution to Mormon Philosophy is a classic religios biography by John A. Widtsoe. In the life of every person, who receives a higher education, in or out of schools, there is a time when there seems to be opposition between science and religion; between man-made and God-made knowledge. The struggle for reconciliation between the contending forces is not an easy one. It cuts deep into the soul and usually leaves scars that ache while life endures. There are thousands of young people in the Church to-day, and hundreds of thousands throughout the world, who are struggling to set themselves right with the God above and the world about them. It is for these young people, primarily, that the following Joseph Smith biography has been written.
