Book descriptionI first learned of the accounts of First Vision through a book now out of print with the same title as Harpers book by Milton V. Backman, Jr., second printing in 1980. I was fascinated by the idea that he told the story on several occasions and printed it twice in his own lifetime. Backman got a few things wrong (like documenting Frederick G. Williams as the only scribe for the 1832 account, though he indicates that Dean C. Jessee provided the identification; in reality, Joseph Smith himself authored most of the account) but most of it was great work and mind-opening for a young college student like me at the time.Harpers update is an excellent replacement for Backmans earlier work. It is a collection of the first- and second-hand accounts of the First Vision, to be sure. But no less important are Harpers background and context discussions where he addresses First Vision critiques and issues, how memory impacts historical recall, and the impact of the culture of the time. His analysis of each first- and second-hand account provides valuable context and his knowledge of the relevant source documents is demonstrably beneficial to the discussion--he has personally handled these documents as part of his work on the Joseph Smith Papers project and knows them well. He explains clearly and succinctly how the accounts were created, found, and relate to each other.The last three chapters are especially where Harpers skill as an historian really shines. He explains the importance of letting Joseph speak for himself, of listening to him with care and not judging his words through our lens of modernity, with our own biases and assumptions. Communication is a flawed process, no matter how careful, and communication across cultures and years adds to that challenge. Understanding his concern for personal salvation informs our understanding of how and why he wrote about the vision. Then, we must consider how memory impacted the telling of the First Vision story, including the interpretation of events in memory based on current events. Memory is not playing back a video of an event, but rather we find meaning in our memories over time, interpreting facts into feelings. That is exactly what we see in the Prophets accounts. Finally, Harper invites us to be seekers who search for their own informed conclusions about what the documents say and mean (p. 111). He assures us that we can trust Joseph Smith, as do the scholars who know the relevant historical record best (p. 117). Those courageous enough to exercise faith as they are seeking will be filled with love and happiness.Joseph Smiths First Vision: A Guide to the Historical Accounts by Steven Craig Harper tablet mobile book djvu read
