The Mormon religion is predicated on what are said to be historical events such as the First Vision of Joseph Smith and the historicity of the Book of Mormon, which describes a detailed pre-Columbian history of the Americas. Joseph Fielding Smith, the tenth president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), declared that "Mormonism, as it is called, must stand or fall on the story of Joseph Smith. He was either a prophet of God, divinely called, properly appointed and commissioned, or he was one of the biggest frauds this world has ever seen. There is no middle ground." As Jan Shipps has written, "Mormonism, unlike other modern religions, is a faith cast in the form of history," and until after World War II, Mormons did not critically examine the historical underpin

  • La mormona religio estas bazita sur kio laŭdire estas historiaj okazaĵoj kiel ekzemple la Unua Vizio de Joseph Smith, Jr. kaj la historia vereco de la Libro de Mormon, kiu priskribas detalan antaŭkolumban historion de Nordameriko. Prezidento Joseph Fielding Smith, la deka mormona profeto, deklaris ke "Mormonismo, kiel ĝi estas nomita devas stari aŭ fali sur la historio de Joseph Smith. Li estis aŭ profeto de Dio, die nomita, konvene elektita kaj taskigita, aŭ li estis unu el la plej grandaj fraŭduloj kiun la mondo iam vidis. Ekzistas neniu meztereno." Kiel Jan Shipps skribis, "Mormonismo, male al aliaj modernaj religioj, estas kredo montrata en la formo de historio," kaj eĉ post la Dua Mondmilito, mormonoj ne kritike ekzamenis la historiajn fazojn de ilia kredo; ĉiu "profana" enketo de la historio de la eklezio estis perceptita "kiel enirado en tabuon."

  • The Mormon religion is predicated on what are said to be historical events such as the First Vision of Joseph Smith and the historicity of the Book of Mormon, which describes a detailed pre-Columbian history of the Americas. Joseph Fielding Smith, the tenth president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), declared that "Mormonism, as it is called, must stand or fall on the story of Joseph Smith.

As Jan Shipps has written, "Mormonism, unlike other modern religions, is a faith cast in the form of history," and until after World War II, Mormons did not critically examine the historical underpinnings of their faith; any "profane" investigation of the church's history was perceived "as trespassing on forbidden ground." Although traditional Christianity is likewise a history religion, few primary sources survive from two or three millennia ago, and biblical places such as Jerusalem, Jericho, and Bethlehem, are acknowledged to exist by scholars of every religious persuasion. Likewise, the Assyrian and Babylonian empires mentioned in the Bible are treated in all histories of the ancient Near East. By contrast, locations of Book of Mormon places are disputed even by Mormons, and the existence of those places is not acknowledged by any non-Mormon scholars. Martin Marty, a Lutheran scholar of American religion, has observed that LDS beginnings are so recent "that there is no place to hide. ... There is little protection for Mormon sacredness." (en)
