"This text is an absolute necessity for any researcher seeking historical accuracy with church documents, as well as, their transformation over time. Seeking to understand the relationship between human and divine natures certainly accounts for a mulitude of revelations and revisions. This volume does an excellent job of presenting and processing both. I highly recommend it to all with a focus on The Restoration Gospel."

"While most of this volume has appeared in print here or there, only the most dedicated are likely to have gathered them together. In arranging scattered items in one carefully edited, easy-to-use volume, Marquardt has admirably accomplished his purpose with this work. Cross references to current LDS and RLDS Doctrine and Covenants make this work usable throughout the movement. On the whole, The Joseph Smith Revelations is carefully crafted by both author and publisher and provides much to recommend it as an objective and practical Restoration history resource."

"Marquardt has produced an extremely interesting, valuable, and important book. Certainly, there is room for discussion and disagreement on specific details in interpretive sections of this book. But The Joseph Smith Revelations is easily the most important book on the Doctrine and Covenants now available. It is a key book for understanding Joseph Smith's revelatory process. It will be the essential reference book on that scripture for years, and no Mormon, or serious student of Mormonism, should be without a copy."
