<strong>Book</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mormon</strong> <strong>Commentary</strong><br />

Moroni Chapter 1<br />

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE , OF THE BOOK, VER. 1-4<br />

Moroni 1:3 And I, Moroni, will not deny the Christ; wherefore, I wander whithersoever I can, for<br />

the safety <strong>of</strong> mine own life.<br />

When Moroni had finished writing the last two chapters <strong>of</strong> the book bearing his father's name and<br />

abridging the Jaredite record (Ether), he thought his work was finished. But he faced an uncertain<br />

and lonely existence. Having reason to believe that all the records engraved on the golden plates<br />

would be preserved and come into the hands <strong>of</strong> the remnant <strong>of</strong> the house <strong>of</strong> Jacob's seed, including<br />

the American Indian (IV N. 1:57-59), he felt it would be well to write some more. He hoped it<br />

would be <strong>of</strong> worth to his Lamanite brethren (Mi. 1:4).
