Book of Mormon
(gcide) | Mormon \Mor"mon\, prop. n. (Eccl.)
One of a Christian denomination (The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints) in the United States, followers of
Joseph Smith, who professed to have found an addition to the
Bible, engraved on golden plates, called the
Book of Mormon, first published in 1830. The Mormons
believe in polygamy, and their hierarchy of apostles,
etc., has control of civil and religious matters.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
Note: The Mormons call their religious organization The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Its head
claims to receive revelations of God's will, and to
have certain supernatural powers. The church
headquarters are in Salt Lake City, Utah. They form a
substantial fraction of the population of Utah, and at
the end of the 20th centrury their numbers were
increasing due to active proselytization.
