Summary: Articles that address specific criticisms of the 1835 accounts of Joseph Smith's First VisionSteven C. Harper, "Four Accounts and Three Critiques of Joseph Smith’s First Vision"
Steven C. Harper, Proceedings of the 2011 FAIR Conference, (August 2011)There are essentially three arguments against the first vision. The minister to whom Joseph reported the event announced that there were no such things these days. More than a century later Fawn Brodie wrote with literary grace to mask historical deficiencies that Joseph concocted the vision years after he said it happened. Then a generation later Wesley Walters charged Joseph with inventing revivalism when a lack of historical evidence proved that there was none, and therefore no subsequent vision as a result. So by now it has become a foregone conclusion for some there are no such things as visions, and Joseph failed to mention his experience for years and then gave conflicting accounts that didn’t match historical facts.
