Alexander Campbell (1788-1866) was a formally educated, logical, disciplined leader ("Reasoned Restoration") of what would become the Disciples of Christ. Joseph Smith (1805-1844) was not formally educated and was according to him the recipient of additional inspiration from God ("Revelatory Restoration') of what would become the Church of the Latter Day Saints.
Ms Benson, an LDS member, but with members of her family having more than superficial involvement and membership in the Disciples church [including First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Bloomington, Illinois - my own church!] add value to her credentials for writing the book.
The well-written book is extensively footnoted and indexed. It also enhanced by a number of illustrations. I learned a lot and am glad to have read it.
