Church members, whether they be renowned gospel scholars or newly baptized converts, often study Joseph Smith and his First Vision. While much is known about the boy prophet and his seminal vision, there is still so much more to learn. In this volume, a collection of essays drawn from a BYU Church History Symposium, contributors relate a variety of topics to the context, place and meaning of the First Vision. These essays include keynote addresses from Richard Lyman Bushman, Sheri Dew, and President Dallin H. Oaks and include discussions on topics ranging from the history and preservation of the Sacred Grove to the multiple cinematic depictions of the Prophet's First Vision.
