For those who haven't read the book, the story is fascinating. An angel appeared to Joseph Smith and told him where to find metal plates upon which were engraved a text, the Book of Mormon. The Lost Tribe of Israel had made its way to North America and populated the western hemisphere. There are many details. The central story is the message of Moroni, the angel: Follow me, and I will make you equal to God. This message has always been brought by an angel; this time he used the name Moroni, He has used other names on other occasions.
So many religions have such stories. Among the world's most precious books religious ones are among the top. What we decide to preserve is endlessly fascinating.
