For episode 23, Signature marketing manager Devery Anderson talks with Gary Bergera about the three-volume Joseph Smith biography project that Bergera commissioned back in the early 2000s, which has just been completed. More particularly, they discuss the first book in the chronology, Richard S. Van Wagoner’s Natural Born Seer: Joseph Smith, American Prophet, 1805–1830, and how it compares to other studies of Smith’s early life.
