	Joseph Smith, Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Smith was a polarizing figure in his time, and he continues to be a focus of controversy between his millions of followers, most of whom revere him as a prophet with the same authority as prophets in the standard Christian canon, and opponents of Mormonism, who believe he was either delusional or fraudulent.
		Joseph Smith taught that Jesus was the Christ and the promised Messiah.
		Smith was opposed by most of his contemporaries; the doctrines he taught were considered heretical and were rejected by other Christian clergy.

	Mormon Roots by Byron Marchant 1994
