Book of Mormon eBook

Joseph Smith was born into a large family in the early 1800s, a time when the Christian religion was split into many denominations. By the age of fourteen, he had to decide which of the Churches he wanted to join before his baptism. He felt that there was so much strife between the denominations that it was impossible for a young person to choose, so he turned to the Bible for answers, and read, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" (James 1:5). This inspired him to pray to God for guidance on the issue.

Joseph was given a vision of both God and Jesus. His new calling was to be a prophet of God. In his visions, he was told that none of the current Churches were teaching the full truth, and he was chosen to start a new Church. He was led by God to discover an ancient record, and given the ability to translate it into English. This was the Book of Mormon. Joseph Smith formally organized The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 6, 1830.

The Book of Mormon is a sacred text of the Church of Latter Day Saints. It was first published in March 1830 by Joseph Smith, Jr. as "The Book of Mormon: An Account Written by the Hand of Mormon upon Plates Taken from the Plates of Nephi." According to Smith's account and the book's narrative, the Book of Mormon was originally written in otherwise unknown characters referred to as "reformed Egyptian," engraved on golden plates.

Joseph Smith received these plates in 1827 from an angel named Moroni. Moroni was the son of Mormon, a prophet born in 310 AD Central America. Mormon had spent his life involved with warfare. His people, called the Nephites, defended themselves against the Lamanites. In 385 AD the Lamanites defeated the Nephites in one great, last battle.

Mormon was instructed by God to make a historical account of his people in writing. His culture had many records engraved on thin gold or brass plates. He used these as a reference and engraved his own narrative of the history of God's dealings with his people on Earth.

By referring to many volumes of records, which were engraved upon thin gold or brass plates, Mormon engraved his own narrative style history of the Lord's dealings with His people in the New World. Before going to war with the Lamanites for the final battle, Mormon gave his son Moroni the plates. Moroni finished the book and became the last known survivor of the Nephite nation. The plates were finished by Mornoni and buried, where they remained until Joseph Smith was called upon to translate them into English.

THE BOOK OF MORMON

AN ACCOUNT WRITTEN BY THE HAND OF MORMON UPON PLATES

TAKEN FROM THE PLATES OF NEPHI

Wherefore, it is an abridgment of the record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites -- Written to the Lamanites, who are a remnant of the house of Israel; and also to Jew and Gentile -- Written by way of commandment, and also by the spirit of prophecy and of revelation -- Written and sealed up, and hid up unto the Lord, that they might not be destroyed -- To come forth by the gift and power of God unto the interpretation thereof -- Sealed by the hand of Moroni, and hid up unto the Lord, to come forth in due time by way of the Gentile -- The interpretation thereof by the gift of God.

An abridgment taken from the Book of Ether also, which is a record of the people of Jared, who were scattered at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people, when they were building a tower to get to heaven -- Which is to show unto the remnant of the House of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers; and that they may know the covenants of the Lord, that they are not cast off forever -- And also to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that JESUS is the CHRIST, the ETERNAL GOD, manifesting himself unto all nations -- And now, if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God, that ye may be found spotless at the judgment-seat of Christ.
