Transitioning from Treasure Digging to Mormonism
The chapter explores the evolution of Joseph Smith's beliefs from physical treasure hunting to a more supernatural approach in Mormonism, with a focus on the transition from requiring evidence to emphasizing belief. It delves into Joseph Smith's efforts to establish credibility for the Book of Mormon, including the significance of the fall equinox in treasure hunting practices and the involvement of Oliver Cowdery in obtaining the gold plates.
