The Reality of the First Vision
Critics of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints seek to discredit Joseph Smith's First Vision by pointing to seeming discrepancies in the historical and written record. For example, they point to differences between the various accounts that Joseph Smith gave of the vision and claim that the Prophet changed his story. They also argue that the earliest followers of Joseph Smith either didn't know about the First Vision, or seem to have been confused about it.
When the entire record is examined, though, Joseph's accounts show remarkable consistency, and early Latter-day Saints do show a knowledge and understanding of the vision and its importance in the Restoration.
