Joseph Smith said "I believe all that God ever revealed, and I never hear of a man being damned for believing too much, but they are damned for unbelief." The essence of Smith's character was this willingness to believe (some) falsehood, rather than wrongly doubt (any) truth. This profound epistemology of faith assumes God will correct false beliefs, but cannot work with unbelief. We explore episodes from Smith’s life, with radical belief as the interpretive lens, understanding his character by observing his reactions to revelation and responses to its aftermath.
