Joseph Smith and Our Preparation for the Lord’s Final Judgment

Essays by George L. Mitton

With a personal tribute by his son John and a foreword by Jeffrey M. Bradshaw

Published by The Interpreter Foundation and Eborn Books

Joseph Smith and Our Preparation for the Lord’s Final Judgment: Essays by George L. Mitton is a volume of tribute to an esteemed Latter-day Saint scholar which assembles four significant articles that offer much guidance for our preparation to meet the Lord at the veil, and at His Final Judgment:

  • The Crucifixion as a Mockery, Witness, and Warning of Judgment
  • The Book of Mormon as a Resurrected Book and a Type of Christ
  • Joseph Smith at the Veil: Significant Ritual, Symbolism, and Temple Influence at Latter-day Saint Beginnings
  • Joseph Smith and the Magical Contest

Adding to the interest is Mitton’s preface, which describes the way inspiration, writing, and life experiences came together to provide the genesis of these essays. In addition, a personal tribute is offered by Mitton’s son John as well as a foreword by Jeffrey M. Bradshaw.
