Richard Bushman: 2010 Church History Symposium

Richard Bushman spoke at the 2010 Church History Symposium on “Joseph Smith and the Routinization of Charisma”. Blair Hodges recorded his notes at “Life on Gold Plates” (http://www.lifeongoldplates.com/2010/03/bushman-joseph-smith-and-routinization.html). It is a fascinating speech, and rather than excerpt parts now (when I simply don’t have time), I wanted to post the link and suggest everyone read it at Blair’s blog, excerpt interesting parts and discuss them here.
