The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ
About: Published in 1830 by Joseph Smith, the origin of "The Book of Mormon" is debated still today. By his own account, Smith was led to the scriptures, which were written on thin, bound brass or gold plates, by an angel from God. With the help of God, Smith was able to translate what was written on the plates. These scriptures, along with two others, serve as the foundation for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
