4 Nephi

The Book of Nephi: Who Is the Son of Nephi—One of the Disciples of Jesus Christ

Ammaron, brother of Amos

Nephi, son of Nephi

Amos, son of Amos

Mormon

Amos, son of Nephi

4 Nephi covers nearly three centuries of the history of the Nephites and Lamanites, from approximately AD 35 to 321. The book describes a period of unity and peace among the people after their conversion to the Church of Christ, during which they obeyed Jesus' commandments and enjoyed spiritual and material blessings. However, over time, the people became divided, proud, and wicked, leading to a decline in their righteousness and the eventual spread of evil practices such as the secret oaths and combinations of Gadianton. The book concludes with the hiding of the sacred records by Ammaron and the general wickedness of both the Nephites and Lamanites by AD 300[1][2][5].

Book of Leviticus

Rolf Rendtorff

Robert Kugler

This volume, edited by Rolf Rendtorff and Robert A. Kugler, brings together contributions from well-known experts on Leviticus.

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of this significant biblical text.

3 Nephi

The Book of Nephi the Son of Nephi, Who Was the Son of Helaman

Nephi, the son of Helaman

3 Nephi is a significant part of the Book of Mormon, detailing the events surrounding the birth and ministry of Jesus Christ among the Nephites. It includes accounts of signs and wonders, the visitation of Jesus after his resurrection, his teachings to the Nephites, and the fulfillment of various prophecies. The book also covers the social and spiritual conditions of the Nephites and Lamanites, including their struggles with wickedness, their defense against the Gadianton robbers, and the conversion of many to the Lord. Jesus' teachings in 3 Nephi are direct and plain, unlike the parables used in the New Testament, reflecting the greater spiritual readiness of the Nephites[2][3][5].

The Book of Ether

Ether

Moroni

The Book of Ether recounts the story of the Jaredites, descendants of Jared and his companions, who were guided by God to the Americas following the confusion of tongues at the Tower of Babel. The book includes the notable story of the brother of Jared, who received a vision of the history of the world and was shown the finger and spirit body of the Lord. It describes their journey across the ocean in barges, their establishment in the promised land, and their eventual destruction due to internal strife and wickedness. Moroni abridged this record from the original 24 gold plates, intending it as a lesson for latter-day readers, emphasizing the importance of faith, repentance, and obedience to God[2][3][5].

The Book of Mormon

Another Testament of Jesus Christ

Mormon and Moroni

Joseph Smith

The Book of Mormon is a scripture that tells the story of a group of Hebrews who migrated from Jerusalem to the Americas around 600 BCE. It describes their history, including their division into two main groups: the Nephites and the Lamanites. The book emphasizes the appearance of Jesus Christ to these people after his resurrection, where he teaches them and establishes his church. It also discusses various doctrinal topics such as the fall of Adam and Eve, the nature of God, baptism, and the importance of faith and repentance. The book ends with Moroni's testimony and an invitation to readers to come unto Christ and be perfected in him[1][3][5].
