The Book of Mormon in Three Volumes: Volume One: The Plates of Nephi and the Small Plates of Jacob

By Joseph Smith and Joseph Smith Jr.

The Book of Mormon is a complex work derived from many genres and sources. This first volume includes the writings translated by Joseph Smith from the Plates of Nephi; and those given upon the priestly "small plates" kept by the line of Jacob, brother of Nephi. Its history begins around 600 BCE and ends four centuries later. As with the other volumes, this one includes footnotes that bring the text into the realm described by Tolkien in his vast body of work, and more fully articulated in Words of the Faithful.The second volume includes Mormon's history as abridged and summarized from the Plates of Nephi, giving us a detailed history of Nephite civilization as kingship gave way to the reign of judges, being drawn from the writings of the high priests. The third volume records the teachings and acts of the resurrected Jesus among the survivors of the destruction brought by his crucifixion, as well as Moroni's translation of the more ancient Jaredite writings, given alongside his father's and his own reflections at the end of his world.
