BROWN, S. M., Joseph Smith's Translation. The Words and Worlds of Early Mormonism. Oxford University Press, 2020. 344p. Hardback. Brown's goal lies in finding just the right concept combination to bring today's reader into some sort of understanding of Smith's situation, and he does with primordial elements, a notion centripetally attracting such themes as sacred-secrecy, wisdom traditions, priesthoods, and most especially family bonding. Brown's affinity with primordial dynamics generates this book's extended account of how he sees them developing within Josephas personal spirituality and community leadership all, again, framed by Smith family ties, evolving capacities for death conquest, religious protest, and ever ongoing cosmic possibilities.
