Joseph Smith and the problem of interpretive pluralism

In the midst of this war of words and tumult of opinion, I often said to myself, What is to be done? who of all these parties are right? Or, are they all wrong together? If one of them is right, which is it, and how shall I know? The teachers of religion of the diferent sects destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible. At length I came to the conclusion that I must...ask of God.

In Christian Smith, The Bible Made Impossible (Grand Rapids: Brazos, 2011), 20.
