An inside look at the foundational sacred text of one of the
world's youngest and fastest growing religions
The Book of Mormon stands alongside the Bible as the keystone of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS
Church/Mormonism). Translated by the prophet Joseph Smith from
ancient writings inscribed on golden plates, the Book of Mormon is
an account of people living in the Western Hemisphere in a timeline
that parallels that of the Bible. It covers a thousand years of
loss, discovery, war, peace, and spiritual principles that focus on
the teachings of Jesus Christ, outlining a plan for salvation and
the responsibilities we must assume to attain it.
The Book of Mormon: Selections Annotated & Explained
explores this sacred epic that is cherished by more than twelve
million members of the LDS church as the keystone of their faith.
Probing the principal themes and historical foundation of this
controversial and provocative narrative, Jana Riess focuses on key
selections that offer insight into contemporary Mormon beliefs and
scriptural emphases, such as the atonement of Christ, the nature of
human freedom, the purpose of baptism, and the need for repentance
from sin. She clarifies the religious, political, and historical
events that take place in the ancient communities of the Book of
Mormon and their underlying contemporary teachings that serve as
the framework for spiritual practices that lie at the core of
Mormon life.
Now you can experience this foundational sacred text even if you
have no previous knowledge of Mormonism. This SkyLight
Illuminations edition presents the key teachings and essential
concepts of the Mormon faith tradition with insightful yet
unobtrusive commentary that helps to dispel many of the
misconceptions that have surrounded the Book of Mormon since its
publication in 1830.
