Mormon is a nickname for Latter Day Saints. This is because of their belief in the Book of Mormon. Mormon is the name of the man who compiled and abridged the Book of Mormon.

These plates were translated by Joseph Smith in the late 1820's to become the Book of Mormon. See the related links below to learn more about him or to read the Book of Mormon online.

Yes. All members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that it is a volume of scripture to be used as a companion with the Holy Bible. This is a key doctrine of the Church, and belief in the Book of Mormon is a requirement for baptism. Joseph Smith called the Book of Mormon the "Keystone of our religion", meaning that belief in the Book of Mormon is fundamental, and if taken out the entire church would collapse.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believes that the Book of Mormon was written on golden colored (although not necessarily the metal gold) plates, delivered to the prophet Joseph Smith by the Angel Moroni. Joseph Smith then translated the plates by the power of God and published the writings as The Book of Mormon. Mormons use the Book of Mormon side-by-side with the Bible. Other religious groups which have broken off from the Mormon Church, such as the Community of Christ and the Apostolic United Brethren also use the Book of Mormon as scripture.

Do you mean the Book of Mormon? Most of the Book of Mormon was written between the reign of Zedekiah of Judah (about 600 BC) and about 430 AD. One portion was written at a time earlier than this and describes events that happened shortly after the fall of the Tower of Babel. The Book of Mormon was buried by its last writer, Moroni, somewhere near 430 AD. Moroni then appeared to Joseph Smith in the mid 1820's and lead him to the place where the record was buried. Joseph Smith translated it into English and the Book of Mormon was first published in 1830. The Book of Mormon is used as scripture along with the Holy Bible by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly nicknamed the "Mormon" church).
