Abstract

This two-part series uses biblical scriptures to prove the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, gives a summary of 1 Nephi, and discusses plates (who wrote them, what language was used, their size and description). Sleight explains how Joseph Smith found the plates in the Hill Cumorah, and gives a history of the founding of the LDS church. The second part concludes the series.
