Mormonism in all Ages
Book • 2010
Mormonism in all ages is a nineteenth-century critical work about the origins and development of Mormonism.
John Larson identifies it as an 1842 publication that does not mention Joseph Smith’s First Vision.
The book is cited alongside newspapers, church publications, and other historical sources that likewise omit the event.
In the episode’s argument, this silence is significant because the First Vision is now presented as the foundational event of the church.
The work thus serves as one example of the contemporary documentary record used to question the traditional chronology.
