The title page of the Book of Mormon was written by Moroni, the son of Mormon. The Prophet Joseph Smith explained: “The title-page of the Book of Mormon is a literal translation, taken from the very last leaf, on the left hand side of the collection or book of plates, which contained the record which has been translated, the language of the whole running the same as all Hebrew writing in general; and that said title page is not by any means a modern composition, either of mine or of any other man who has lived or does live in this generation” (History of the Church, 1:71).The title page explains by what power the Book of Mormon was written and by what power it would come forth in the latter days. Moroni also gave several reasons why this sacred record was written and preserved to come forth in our day.
