The Book of Mormon is a religious history, describing the migrations of three groups of peoples to the Americas. It spans the time period of approximately 600 B.C. to 400 A.D. The first group of migrants was led by the Lord from the destruction of the Tower of Babel in Mesopotamia. The second and third groups were led by Lord to the Americas from Israel just prior to the Babylonian captivity. These latter groups kept the record, and included an account from the first group, whose remains they had found.

  • The Book of Mormon is a religious history, describing the migrations of three groups of peoples to the Americas. It spans the time period of approximately 600 B.C. to 400 A.D. The first group of migrants was led by the Lord from the destruction of the Tower of Babel in Mesopotamia. The second and third groups were led by Lord to the Americas from Israel just prior to the Babylonian captivity. These latter groups kept the record, and included an account from the first group, whose remains they had found. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has never given an official statement identifying a given place in the Americas with any place mentioned in the Book of Mormon. Church leaders have emphasized that the book's primary purpose is not to inform or describe the history of its peoples, but rather to invite the reader to come unto Christ. However, Church leaders have not discouraged members from studying the geography in the Book of Mormon or comparing it to present locations. The ninth Article of Faith states, "We believe ... that [God] will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God." Someday the Lord will reveal the particulars of Book of Mormon geography to His saints.
