Compare to other "prophets," please. CFR. Otherwise, you might as well be saying J. K. Rowling has taught us more about Albus Dumbledore than any other prophet.
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.

I listed on another thread some of the doctrines Joseph Smith restored:

http://mormondiscussions.com/discuss/vi ... php?t=4029

What I'm also talking about is sheer quantity of work. Enoch was known as a great record keeper, but his works have not been passed on to our generation. Moses gave us the Pentateuch, various prophets gave us further scripture, Paul gave us many epistles, but Joseph Smith gave us far more. He was a clear and unmuddied window through which we can and do receive a clear view of Jesus Christ.

From my reading, it seems that Joseph was more of a borrower than a restorer. And why the heck do we need a window through which to view Jesus?

It's too bad that the LDS church has had to make so many changes to this clear and unmuddied window.
