O Livro de Mórmon; outro testamento de Jesus Cristo

This scripture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints presents itself as a record of ancient peoples in the Americas. It opens with the prophet Lehi and his son Nephi leaving Jerusalem, crossing the sea, and founding a society that later splits into the Nephites and Lamanites. The narrative runs through wars, prophets, and cycles of faith and decline, and centers on an account of Jesus Christ appearing to the people after his resurrection. The text is credited to the ancient prophet Mormon and his son Moroni, and was translated by Joseph Smith.

Members of the faith read it daily as a companion to the Bible. Others pick it up to understand the beliefs, history, and language of Latter-day Saints at the source.

Deep and contemplative; a moderate read.
