Synopsis

The First Vision is the founding event of Mormonism. Critics of Joseph Smith have questioned Joseph Smith’s accounts of First Vision. Were there revivals in 1820 near Palmyra? Did Joseph lie about seeing God? Did a Methodist minister really scold Joseph Smith? BYU professor Dr. Steven Harper looks at the malleability of memory. Can Joseph’s account be trusted? Are there different ways to explain discrepancies in Joseph’s various accounts of the First Vision? Dr. Harper will answer these questions as we discuss his book “First Vision: Memory and Mormon Origins.” We will also discuss Orson Pratt’s outsized influence on helping the entire Church remember Joseph Smith’s First Vision. Check out our conversation...
