  • There are several theories as to the actual origin of the Book of Mormon. Most adherents to the Latter Day Saint movement view the book as a work of inspired scripture. The most common theory accepted by adherents is that promoted by Joseph Smith, Jr. , who said he translated the work from an ancient set of golden plates inscribed by prophets, which Smith discovered near his home in western New York in Palmyra, New York in the 1820s after being told to go there by the angel Moroni, a character from the Book of Mormon. Besides Smith himself, there are more than 11 witnesses who said they saw the plates physically (three claiming to have been visited by an angel as well) in 1829. There are also many other witnesses, some of them friendly to Smith and some hostile, who observed him dictating the text that eventually became the Book of Mormon. Nevertheless, critics have explored a number of issues, including (1) whether Joseph Smith actually had golden plates, or whether the text of the Book of Mormon originated in his mind or through inspiration; (2) whether it was Smith himself who composed the book's text, or whether an associate of Smith's such as Oliver Cowdery or Sidney Rigdon could have composed the text; and (3) whether the book was based on a prior work such as the View of the Hebrews, the Spalding Manuscript, or the Bible.
  • Hay varias teorías del origen del Libro de Mormón. La mayoría de los adherentes al Movimiento de los Santos de los Últimos Días ven este libro como un trabajo de escritura inspirada. La teoría más comúnmente aceptada por los adherentes es la promovida por Joseph Smith, que dice que él tradujo el trabajo desde un antiguo conjunto de planchas escrito por profetas, el cual Smith descubrió cerca de su casa en Palmyra, al oeste del estado de Nueva York en 1820 después de que el ángel Moroni le dijera de ir allí. Además del propio Smith, hay más de 11 testigos que dijeron ver físicamente las planchas (tres de ellos dijeron que también les había visitado un ángel) en 1829. Hay también más testigos, algunos amigos y otros enemigos de Joseph Smith, que le observaron dictando el texto que se convertiría en el Libro de Mormón. Sin embargo, los críticos han explorado una serie de cuestiones, entre ellas, (1) si Joseph Smith realmente tenía planchas de oro, o si el texto del Libro de Mormón se originó en su mente por medio de la inspiración; (2) si es Smith quien compuso el texto del Libro de Mormón, o si un socio de Smith como Oliver Cowdery o Sidney Rigdon podría haber compuesto el texto, y (3) si el libro se basa en un trabajo previo, como la Vista de los Hebreos, el Manuscrito Spalding, o la Biblia.
  • A Origem do Livro de Mormon, é polémica e envolta em várias teorias havendo adeptos dos dois lados, uns a defender a sua autenticidade e outros a defender a sua falsificação.
