The Book of Mormon has fifteen sections called books, which are further divided into chapters and sections like the Bible. The Book of Mormon, unlike the Bible, has only been translated from its original version once (into English-other translations are from the English version), and is therefore considered to have minimal translation errors. The Book of Mormon's subtitle is “Another Testament of Jesus Christ.” The book testifies of Christ's divinity and mission and is another witness that Christ lived, atoned for sins, died on the cross, and was resurrected. Christ visited a remnant of these peoples shortly after His resurrection and established His gospel and priesthood authority among them.
Their descendants lived according to the Law of Moses, but were tutored by their prophets to look forward to the birth and atonement of Christ. Two of these groups were of Israelite descent. The Book of Mormon is an account of three groups of people who migrated from Asia to the Americas (the "Jaredites," the "Mulekites," and the family of Lehi). The Book of Mormon is similar to the Bible in that it is a compilation of writings from many prophets over many centuries (more than 1,000 years). All four books are available in their entirety online at Book of Mormon The Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price make up what members call the Standard Works.
Members of the Church read the Bible and believe that it is scripture and speaks the word of God, but there is also other scripture. Unlike most of Christianity, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that the Bible is not the only scripture authorized by God.
