Beliefs & Doctrine

Title Page

  1. The Book of Mormon's own title page, which Joseph Smith said was translated from the last leaf of the golden plates and states the book's purpose and origin.

Written by Moroni, the title page explains that the book was written to convince all people that Jesus is the Christ. Because it was translated from the plates, it is considered part of the scriptural text rather than a modern addition.
