The book in question is a religious text central to the faith of the Latter-day Saint movement, which purports to be a historical account written by ancient prophets. It claims to chronicle the spiritual, political, and military history of a group of Israelites who migrated to the Americas around 600 BCE, and their descendants. It includes the teachings of prophets about Jesus Christ, prophecies of His coming, and an account of Christ's visit to the Americas after His resurrection. The narrative concludes with a great battle that decimates the civilizations described. The text is presented as a compilation of writings by these ancient prophets, translated from golden plates by the founder of the Latter-day Saint movement.
