Description

The Book of Mormon, published in 1888, remains a foundational text in the religious beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is regarded as a sacred scripture that complements the Bible and tells the story of ancient inhabitants of the American continent, their prophets, and their interactions with God. The book's teachings focus on Jesus Christ's ministry among these peoples and their spiritual journey. Its publication in 1888 marked a significant moment in Mormon history, reinforcing beliefs in divine revelation and the continuity of God's message across different peoples and times. It is called a Pulpit Edition because a set of scriptures were at each pulpit so those needing a reference when speaking had easy access to them.
