James B. Allen, a retired BYU history professor wrote: “People have so many misconceptions about the ‘various accounts.’ I have often given firesides about it, emphasizing the fact that, of course, there are differences between the accounts, but that there are some remarkable and important consistencies, and that, most important, they all reflected Joseph Smith’s honest effort, at different times, under different circumstances, and to different people, to explain what happened to him. Why would we not expect some differences to occur—after all, which of us tells a story exactly the same way every time?” (“A Genuine Vision,” LDS Church News, 26 May 2007).Share
