 Words of Mormon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Words of Mormon is one of the books in The Book of Mormon.
According to the book, it is a comment inserted by the prophet Mormon who Mormons believe compiled the Book of Mormon from the writings of several other prophets.
Textually, Words of Mormon serves to link the Small Plates of Nephi, which precede it, with the rest of the Book of Mormon.

It asserts that it was abridged and compiled by the prophet Mormon and his son Moroni in the 4th century, for "the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God." Joseph Smith claimed to have translated the record by divine inspiration with assistance from the Urim and Thummim.
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.
This Book of Mormon teaching, in effect, shows that the God of Israel and the Messiah are one and the same being, Jesus Christ; He is [God] of the Old Testament ("Father," representing God the Father) and Lord of the New Testament ("Son"), which is exactly what the LDS church teaches.

 Words of Mormon 1:1 I, Mormon…have witnessed almost all the destruction of my people
Mormon writes the Words of Mormon during or just prior to 385 AD, the year of the great and last battle (he was about age 74 at the time, see Mormon 2:2).
Mormon is writing the words we know as the Book of Mormon after collecting all the wisdom of age and experience.
It is not surprising, therefore, for Mormon to approve of the contents of the Small Plates of Nephi, for these two spiritual heroes, Mormon and Nephi, had similar desires for the welfare of their people and for the recipients of the Book of Mormon in the last days.

Mormon explains how he found this alternate source, and simply mentions that it occurred "after I had made an abridgment from the plates of Nephi." Mormon simply assumes that we both know who he is, and what he is doing.
Mormon is telling us what he will do, and that is "put them with the remainder of my record." We now have sufficient pieces of this puzzle to suggest a solution to the textual process whereby we received both the small plate material and this book which is called Words of Mormon.
Mormon's testimony to his personal relationship to the plates is understandable from Mormon the editor, to whom all of these historical records were in the "present tense" - that is, he had them present before him.

Mormon was at work on his abridgment of the large plates of Nephi1 when he discovered the small plates of Nephi, a prophetic record from early Nephite history (W of M 1:3).
Because he was deeply impressed with the messianic prophecies that he read on the small plates, and in response to "the workings of the Spirit," Mormon included that set of plates with his digest (W of M 1:4-7).
A.D. 130), Mormon assumed the prerogative of an editor and appended this historical postscript to the small plates to bring its conclusion into correlation with the opening of the book of Mosiah.

The Mormon organization FARMS is producing the most widely read and seemingly scholarly defenses of the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith available in Mormonism today.
Those involved in evangelizing Mormons know that young missionaries, when faced with difficulties in their Scriptures, are quite likely to turn to FARMS materials for help, even though they are often unable to understand those materials fully.
Indeed, the fact that Mormon scholars go to such lengths is an indication of how important the integrity of their prophet is to their entire religious system.
