The Book of Mormon is published in Palmyra, New York.

The Book of Mormon is a foundational religious text of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), first published in 1830 by Joseph Smith, who claimed to have translated it from ancient golden plates revealed to him by an angel named Moroni. The narrative follows several groups of people who migrated from the ancient Near East to the Americas, including the Nephites and Lamanites—descendants of a prophet named Lehi—and details their spiritual and political struggles over centuries. Central to the text is the appearance of Jesus Christ in the Americas after His resurrection, reinforcing its subtitle: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. The book emphasizes themes like faith, repentance, revelation, and divine justice, and it’s considered by believers to be both a historical account and sacred scripture, on par with the Bible. Critics, however, question its historical authenticity, leading to ongoing scholarly and theological debates.
