Joseph Smith, Jr. December 23, 1805 – June 27, 1844) was an American religious leader who founded the Latter Day Saint movement, a restorationist movement giving rise to Mormonism. According to Smith's followers, he was the first latter-day prophet, whose mission was to restore the original Christianity, which is said to have been lost after a Great Apostasy. This restoration included publication of the Book of Mormon and other new scripture to supplement the Bible, and the establishment of the Church of Christ. As leader of his religion, he was also an important political and military leader in the American West. Although Smith's early Christian restorationist teachings were similar in many ways to other movements of his time, Smith was and remains a controversial and polarizing figure, both because of his collection of religious and social innovations, and as a result of his large, devoted, and powerful following, which has continued to grow to the present day. Adherents to denominations originating from Joseph Smith's teachings currently number approximately thirteen million followers. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the largest denomination, with about 12.5 million members.[1] The second largest is the Community of Christ with about 250, 000 members. Other Latter Day Saint denominations have membership numbering from tens to the tens of thousands North American United States America Us Usa american culture americana continent continent and country continents countries country culture cultures information location locations national culture national cultures international travel tourism tourist sightseening destination lifestyle holiday vacation national composition produce concept concepts idea theme setting activity beautifull spirit free live style active color colour technique
