Matthew Bowman examines Smith's ideas and his place in American religious history. Smith achieved position and influence at a young age, while his theories about the age of the earth and the falseness of evolutionary theory brought fame and controversy. As Bowman shows, Smith's strong identity as a Saint influenced how he blended Protestant fundamentalist thought into his distinctly LDS theological views. Bowman also goes beyond Smith's well-known conservatism to reveal him as an important thinker engaged with the major religious questions of his time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Incisive and illuminating, \u003ci\u003eJoseph Fielding Smith\u003c\/i\u003e examines the worldview and development of an influential theologian and his place in American religious and intellectual history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew Bowman\u003c\/b\u003e is Howard W.
