About this listen
What do you get when you mix divine visions, secret wives, homemade money, and a printing press smashed by order of God’s self-declared mouthpiece? A body on the jailhouse floor and a story too wild for Sunday School.
In this blisteringly funny, historically ruthless follow-up to Before the Revelation, Argor Barpha drags you through the final years of Joseph Smith—the American mystic who wasn’t content just starting a church. He wanted a kingdom. Maybe even a crown.
From the ruins of Kirtland to the blood-soaked cornfields of Missouri, from the swamp city of Nauvoo to the Carthage jail where it all ended in gunfire, After the Revelation is a no-holds-barred account of the Prophet's transformation from farm boy to theocratic strongman. Featuring financial disasters, secret polygamous rites, presidential ambitions, and one hell of an extermination order, this is not the Joseph Smith you learned about in seminary. This is the Joseph Smith who wanted it all—and couldn’t stop reaching for more.
Sharp-tongued, exhaustively researched, and completely unafraid to offend, this is religious history with the gloves off.
