Post in Honour of the 212th anniversary of the Birth of the Prophet Joseph Smith

Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it . . . (D&C 135:3)

Today is the 212^th anniversary of the birth of the Prophet Joseph Smith, so I think it is apropos to plug a few articles on this blog about the role and status of the Prophet Joseph Smith in Latter-day Saint theology:

Incidentally, one of my favourite stanzas in the LDS hymnal is the third stanza of this hymn which captures the importance of the Prophet Joseph Smith:

"Great is his glory and endless his priesthood. Ever and ever the keys he will hold.
Faithful and true, he will enter his kingdom, crowned in the midst of the prophets of old."
