The Book of Abraham is a book of ancient scripture translated by the Prophet Joseph Smith from ancient papyri. It is now included in the Pearl of Great Price, one of the books that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) consider scripture in addition to the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Doctrine and Covenants. The book contains important teachings about the creation, God’s covenant with Abraham, the preexistence, or pre-earth life, of man, the nature of God, and the eternal mission of Jesus Christ as our Savior.
