S1 E11 -Saintly Scoundrel The Life and Times of John C. Bennett
Mormon Book Reviews Podcast by Steven Pynakker
Episode notes
Evangelical Steven Pynakker reviews the definitive biography of one of the most infamous characters to inhabit the orbit of Joseph Smith. In this review you'll find out that Bennett had a fascinating life and history both before and after his encounter(s) with the Restoration. From being an early advocate of the health benefits of tomatoes, developing two new breeds of chickens, and founding diploma mills, you'll find a much more complex person than what you've been taught.
