“Joseph Smith was a ‘great writer’ — Arthur Henry King”

A significant figure for both my wife and me — separately, before we’d met — was the late Arthur Henry King.  (Just after our wedding, we ran into him in, of all places, a grocery store in Cedar City, Utah.  When he learned that we had married, he complimented me on my very wise choice, and I took his compliment quite seriously.)

Here’s an interesting piece about his view of Joseph Smith by Michael De Groote:

And here’s another piece about Dr. King by Joseph Cannon:

“Reflections on Arthur Henry King”

Arthur Henry King is yet another person whose voice I miss.  I think his writing should be better known than it is among today’s Latter-day Saints.

In his honor, confident that he would have wanted to be represented on the site, I put together an entry for him, based upon one of his essays, and posted it at Mormon Scholars Testify:
