BOOK OF MORMON - MORONI CRITIQUE

The book of Moroni is the final book within the Book of Mormon. It was written by the last Nephite prophet, Moroni. Chapters 1–3 tell of the final destruction of the Nephites, giving instruction on the conferring of the Holy Ghost and the priesthood. Chapters 4–5 detail the exact mode of administering the sacrament. Chapter 6 summarizes the work of the Church. Chapters 7–8 are sermons on the first principles of the gospel, including teachings by Mormon on faith, hope, and charity and on the way to judge good and evil (Moro. 7), and Mormon’s explanation that little children are alive in Christ and need no baptism (Moro. 8). Chapter 9 describes the depravity of the Nephite nation. Chapter 10 is Moroni’s final message and includes the way to know the truth of the Book of Mormon (Moro. 10:3–5). lds.org

Moroni, according to the Book of Mormon, was the last Nephite prophet, historian, and military commander who lived in the Americas in the late fourth and early fifth centuries. He is later known as the Angel Moroni, who presented the golden plates to Joseph Smith, who said he translated the plates upon which the Book of Mormon was originally written.
