Book Of Mormon
The Book of Mormon is a religious text of the Latter Day Saint movement, first published in 1830 by Joseph Smith as ''The Book of Mormon: An Account Written by the Hand of Mormon upon Plates Taken from the Plates of Nephi''. The book is one of the earliest and most well-known unique writings of the Latter Day Saint movement. The List of denominations in the Latter Day Saint movement, denominations of the Latter Day Saint movement typically regard the text primarily as scripture (sometimes as one of standard works, four standard works) and secondarily as a record of God's dealings with ancient inhabitants of the Americas. The majority of Latter Day Saints believe the book to be a record of real-world history, with Latter Day Saint denominations viewing it variously as an inspired record of scripture to the Linchpin#Metaphorical use, linchpin or "Keystone (architecture)#Metaphor, keystone" of their religion.

IPA For English
English language, English phonology is the system of speech sounds used in spoken English. Like many other languages, English has wide variation in pronunciation, both History of the English language, historically and from List of dialects of the English language, dialect to dialect. In general, however, the regional dialects of English share a largely similar (but not identical) phonological system. Among other things, most dialects have vowel reduction in unstressed syllables and a complex set of phonological features that distinguish fortis and lenis consonants (stop consonant, stops, affricates, and fricatives). Phonological analysis of English often concentrates on prestige (sociolinguistics), prestige or standard language, standard accents, such as Received Pronunciation for England, General American for the United States, and Australian English, General Australian for Australia. Nevertheless, many other dialects of English are spoken, which have developed differently from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nephite
In the Book of Mormon, the Nephites () are one of four groups (along with the Lamanites, Jaredites, and Mulekites) said to have settled in the ancient Americas. The term is used throughout the Book of Mormon to describe the religious, political, and cultural traditions of the group of settlers. The Nephites are described as a group of people that descended from or were associated with Nephi, a son of the prophet Lehi, who left Jerusalem at the urging of God in about 600 BC and traveled with his family to the Western Hemisphere and arrived to the Americas in about 589 BC. The Book of Mormon notes them as initially righteous people who eventually "had fallen into a state of unbelief and awful wickedness" and were destroyed by the Lamanites in about AD 385. Some Mormon scholars have suggested that the Nephites settled somewhere in present-day Central America. However, non-Mormon scholars and, notably, the Smithsonian Institution, have stated that they have ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alma The Younger
In the Book of Mormon, Alma, the son of Alma () is a Nephite prophet often referred to as Alma the Younger to distinguish him from his father, who is often referred to as Alma the Elder. These appellations, "the Younger" and "the Elder," are not used in the Book of Mormon; they are distinctions made by scholars, useful because both individuals were prominent during the same portion of the Book of Mormon's narrative and filled a similar cultural and religious role. Alma is the namesake of the Book of Alma. Conversion Alma the Younger lived in Zarahemla during the end of the reign of the Nephite King Mosiah. As a young man, he, the four sons of Mosiah, and others wanted to destroy the church and actively persecuted its members. After they were visited personally by an angel and rebuked for their actions, Alma fell into an unconscious state where, for three days and three nights, he lay unable to move until he felt within that he had been forgiven of his sins. He later recounted ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amlicites
According to the Book of Mormon, the Amlicites () were a break-off group of Nephites in the Book of Alma, around 87 B.C. Their leader, Amlici, is not chosen by the people as king, so he and the Amlicites leave the Nephites and join the Lamanites. The Nephites win both of their battles with the Amlicites and Alma kills Amlici in the second battle. The Amlicites also mark themselves on the forehead like the Lamanites, and God marks them with dark skin. Some scholars connect this to a prophecy in Second Nephi about people fighting against the Nephites being cursed with dark skin. Other scholars propose that Amlicites and Amalekites are the same group. Narration In the fifth year of the reign of the judges over the Nephites, a man named Amlici wants to become king. He is described as "cunning and wise as to the things of the world", and is part of the order of Nehor, who taught priestcraft among the Nephites and killed Gideon. He gains many followers, who are later called Amlicite ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lamanites
In the Book of Mormon, the Lamanites () are one of the four peoples (along with the Jaredites, the Mulekites, and the Nephites) described as having settled in the ancient Americas. The Lamanites also play a role in the prophecies and revelations of the Doctrine and Covenants, another sacred text in the Latter Day Saint movement. In the Book of Mormon's narrative, the Lamanites begin as wicked rivals to the more righteous Nephites, but when the Nephite civilization became decadent, it lost divine favor and was destroyed by the Lamanites. Latter Day Saints have historically associated Lamanites with present-day Native American cultures. Book of Mormon narrative According to the Book of Mormon, the family of Lehi, described as a wealthy Hebrew prophet, the family of Ishmael, and Zoram traveled from the Middle East to the Americas by boat in around 600 BC. In his dying blessings to his children, Lehi assigns tribes to his descendants, usually named after the son whose fami ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Zarahemla
Zarahemla () is a land in the Book of Mormon that for much of the narrative functions as the capital of the Nephites, their political and religious center. Zarahemla has been the namesake of multiple communities in the United States, has been alluded to in literature that references Mormonism, and has been portrayed in artwork depicting Book of Mormon content. Most adherents of the Latter Day Saint movement regard the Book of Mormon as a translation of a genuinely historical text from the ancient Americas (a belief that mainstream academic archaeology does not corroborate). Some adherents have speculated about where Zarahemla would have been located or attempted to find archaeological evidence of it. Such attempts have been unsuccessful. Background The Book of Mormon, published in 1830, is one of the central scriptures of Mormonism, also called the Latter Day Saint movement. Founder Joseph Smith said that an angel of the Christian God directed him to uncover metal plates i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Book Of Mormon People
A book is a structured presentation of recorded information, primarily verbal and graphical, through a medium. Originally physical, electronic books and audiobooks are now existent. Physical books are objects that contain printed material, mostly of writing and images. Modern books are typically composed of many pages bound together and protected by a cover, what is known as the ''codex'' format; older formats include the scroll and the tablet. As a conceptual object, a ''book'' often refers to a written work of substantial length by one or more authors, which may also be distributed digitally as an electronic book (ebook). These kinds of works can be broadly classified into fiction (containing invented content, often narratives) and non-fiction (containing content intended as factual truth). But a physical book may not contain a written work: for example, it may contain ''only'' drawings, engravings, photographs, sheet music, puzzles, or removable content like paper doll ...
