Page "Temple" Paragraph 34

The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Chirst, which Latter-day Saints believe is a companion book of scripture with the Bible, refers to temple building in the ancient Americas by a group of people called the Nephites.

Though Book of Mormon authors are not explicit about the practices in these Nephite temples, they were patterned " after the manner of the temple of Solomon " () and served as gathering places for significant religious and political events ( e. g. Mosiah 1-6 ; 3rd Nephi 11-26 ).
