Critics attack accounts of priesthood restoration through John the Baptist, and Peter, James and John, the apostles, because Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery didn’t officially record them until a number of years after the events.
This video shows that while Joseph and Oliver did not publish details early on, multiple publications from other sources, such as newspapers, illustrate that they were discussing it verbally shortly after the events occurred. Other compelling aspects of the priesthood restoration are shared that should silence any critic trying to discredit Joseph and Oliver’s testimony.
