We are back with Chapter Twelve of John Turner’s new book “Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet.” Today we are covering Chapter Twelve which is titled: “Olive Leaves” that covers the years 1832-1833 in Kirtland, Ohio. We tackle topics like the excommunication of Jesse Gause, one of the first General Authorities and other conflicts between the Mormon leaders. We also answer questions like... -Was the idea of the different priesthoods original to Joseph Smith? -Did Joseph Smith speak in tongues? -Did Joseph Smith actually predict the Civil War? -Is the School of the Prophets unique and where did the Solemn Assembly come from?
