"Joseph Smith's First Vision stories constitute a key element of contemporary Mormon self-conception. Anyone seeking to understand Mormonism will have to grapple with the complexities surrounding this event and the stories told about it. This essay introduces the reader to the narratives that represent the event and to their variations, particularly as they have played out from the late-twentieth century to the present."
