The Book of Abraham
Book • 1842
The Book of Abraham is a scripture of the Latter Day Saint movement, first published in 1842 by Joseph Smith.

The book clarifies several teachings found in the Bible, including the pre-mortal existence of spirits, the creation of the earth from preexisting matter, and the importance of mortal life in God's plan of happiness.
It also introduces unique doctrines such as the star Kolob and the hierarchy of celestial bodies.
The text is part of the Pearl of Great Price, one of the standard works of the LDS Church.
