The Book of Mormon : an account written by the hand of Mormon, upon plates…

"The Book of Mormon: an account written by the hand of Mormon, upon plates…" is a religious text first published in 1830 by Joseph Smith. According to Smith, the book was translated from golden plates revealed by an angel, chronicling ancient peoples led from Jerusalem to the Americas. The text centers on an appearance of Jesus Christ in the Americas after his resurrection, containing teachings on atonement, baptism, and priesthood authority. Its origins remain contested between faith-based and scholarly interpretations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
