Genre:  Scripture
Annotations:
Mormon literature begins with the Book of Mormon. While the religious and historical characteristics of the book have provided the principal reasons for its dissemination and for discussion about it, its literary qualities and influences constitute a broad and deep contribution to Mormon cultural and literary traditions. The Book of Mormon has been translated to many languages, adapted to various audiences (such as children or beginning readers) and media (such as radio and film), and proven the basis for fictionalized stories based on characters and events within it. For principal discussions of the Book of Mormon as literature, see the studies by Franklin Harris, Roy A. West, Douglas Wilson, and various works by Richard Dilworth Rust.
