		The term Mormon is a colloquial name referring to Latter Day Saints, derived in the 1830s from the Book of Mormon, one of their books of scripture, whose compiler was called the prophet Mormon.
		In a press release from 2001, the LDS Church stated that the word "Mormon" as an adjective in such expressions as "Mormon pioneers", "Mormons" as a noun in reference to church members, and "Mormonism" as a doctrine, culture, and lifestyle were all acceptable.
		The LDS Church argues "Mormon", "Mormon fundamentalist" and "Mormon dissident" in reference to organizations or groups outside of the LDS Church (especially those that practice plural marriage) is a misunderstanding of Mormon theology, in particular the principle of continuous revelation and Priesthood authority.

	Book of Mormon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Words of Mormon, written in AD 385 by Mormon, is a short introduction to the books of Mosiah, Alma, Helaman, 3 Nephi, and 4 Nephi, all of which he abridged from a large quantity of existing records that detailed his nation's history from the time of Omni to his own life.
		The Book of Mormon is of prime importance to the church as one of the greatest differentiating factors of the Church as well as a spiritual foundation.
		The Book of Mormon’s significance was reiterated in the late 20th century by Ezra Taft Benson, Apostle and 13th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

	Book of Jacob - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Book of Jacob is the third book of the Book of Mormon.
		According to the text, it was written by the ancient prophet Jacob, brother of the prophet Nephi, believed to have lived around 600 BC.
		While this book contains some history of the Nephites, including the death of Nephi, it is mainly a record of Jacob's preachings to his people.

	Lehi (Book of Mormon prophet) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Book of Mormon, Lehi was an ancient prophet who lived around 600 BC.
		Lehi had at least six sons: Laman, Lemuel, Sam, Nephi, Jacob, and Joseph; and at least two daughters, who were not named in the Book of Mormon.
		Very few FARMS scholars and other Mormonism historians will definitively tie the two together because of the lack of evidence.

		For LDS children, the Book of Mormon is a source of stories and heroes to equal those of the Bible—Joseph in Egypt, Daniel in the lions´ den, the faithful Ruth, and brave Queen Esther.
		The title page was used as the description of the Book of Mormon on the federal copyright application filed June 11, 1829, with R. Lansing, Clerk of the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of New York, at Albany.
		He spoke to Jacob concerning God´s Plan of Salvation for his children, teaching principles that are fundamental to understanding the gospel of Jesus Christ, including the doctrine of redemption through the Messiah, the necessity of opposition and agency, the role of Satan, and the importance of the Fall of Adam and Eve (2:1–30).

	Book of Mormon - MormonWiki

		The Book of Mormon is accepted by the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the word of God, along with the Bible, the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price.
		The ancient American prophet Mormon, for whom the book was named, wrote that its purpose is to remind people what God has done for His people anciently and most importantly to convince all people “that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God" (Book of Mormon title page).

	The Book of Mormon Background
		Mormon was an ancient prophet born in 310 AD Central America.
		Mormon's record, the gospel of Christ, came forth to a latter-day prophet, Joseph Smith, a descendant of Jacob's son, Joseph, who was sold into Egypt
		In this book, Jesus states that the act of Israel's latter-day descendants reading this book is in itself a sign to them that the Father's work has begun...that He will soon fulfill His covenant to all the house of Israel, to bring them knowledge of their Redeemer and restore them to their lands of inheritance.

	The Bible and the Book of Mormon
		Only the Book of Mormon begins verse 10 with "O ye wicked ones." This addition appears to be a preservation of the parallel mention of idols in verses 18 and 20.
		Although this is considered plagiarism by critics of the Book of Mormon, a similar condition exists in the New Testament.
		The phrases "or out of the waters of baptism" in 1 Nephi 20:1; and "and shalt not remember the reproach of thy youth" in 3 Nephi 22:4 were both added to the text of the Book of Mormon during the editing process by the Prophet Joseph Smith and did not appear in the 1830 edition.

		The question of precisely where the events chronicled in the Book of Mormon took place arises naturally since to date neither the record itself nor the Lord through his prophets has revealed its New World setting in terms that permit conclusive linkages to modern-day locales.
		Historical research indicates that Joseph Smith never claimed revelation on the subject and that the thinking of early church leaders regarding Book of Mormon geography was subject to modification as new information came to light.

	An Overview of The Book of Mormon
		Prophet Joseph Smith called the Book of Mormon "the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion" and said that a person "would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book" (TPJS, p.
		In 1832, two and one-half years after the book was published, the word of the Lord warned the Saints that they had treated the revelations too lightly and had neglected to "remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon" (DandC 84:57).

	Negative Questions in the Book of Mormon
		Because of their presence in the KJV, this pattern in the Book of Mormon cannot be used as strong evidence of a Hebrew original.
		The Book of Mormon also asks negative questions in which the speaker answers his own question with an answer, "yea." This may correspond to a slightly different category of questions using h?lô, indicating that "an affirmative answer is expected."
		As a side note, several critics of the Book of Mormon have argued that if one takes Moroni 10:4 literally, a positive response to a prayerful inquiry as to its truthfulness would indicate that the Book of Mormon was false.
