Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church), claimed to have been led by an angel to ancient metal plates buried in a hillside near his home. He then translated engravings from these plates, which were in an ancient language, into English through the power of God.A believing Mormon would not say that Joseph Smith "received ideas" for the Book of Mormon, because they believe that he translated the plates directly from the ancient tongue into English, rather than reading them and then using the ideas to write his own book.
