A source audit of the teachings of Joseph Smith

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21

“Although all is not gold that shines… yet, by proving contraries, truth is made manifest, and a wise man can search out old paths, wherein righteous men held communion with Jehovah, and were exalted through obedience.” Joseph Smith to I. Daniel Rupp, 5 June 1844

For each teaching, writing, and attributed quote of Joseph Smith, the project shows the earliest documentary source, the chain of transmission, and a categorical provenance grade, so a reader can see how close a statement sits to the documentary record.
