Thus, as church founder Joseph Smith, Jr. explained, the church believes the Bible to be the word of God " as far as it is translated correctly.

The manuscripts of the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible state that " the Song of Solomon is not inspired scripture ," and therefore it is not included in LDS canon and rarely studied by members of the LDS Church.

Smith gained a small following in the late 1820s as he was dictating the Book of Mormon, which he said was a translation of words found on a set of golden plates that had been buried near his home in western New York by an indigenous American prophet.

In 1823 Smith said an angel directed him to a buried book written on golden plates containing the religious history of an ancient people.

According to Smith, the angel was the guardian of the golden plates, which Latter Day Saints believe were the source material for the Book of Mormon, buried in a hill near Smith's home in western New York.

Thus, in an 1831 letter from Lucy Mack Smith to her brother, she discusses Moroni as the person who buried the plates, but does not identify him as the unnamed " holy angel " that gave Smith the means to translate the golden plates.

Joseph Smith, Jr. ( who would later become the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement ) said that on the night of September 21, 1823, Moroni appeared to Smith and told him about the Golden Plates that were buried ( in a stone box ) a few miles from Smith's home ; visited Smith various times over the course of the next six years ; and after Smith translated a portion of the writing on the plates ( either one-third or two-thirds ; accounts vary ) as the Book of Mormon, Smith turned the plates back over to Moroni.

The elder Smith, however, was also called to give Patriarchal blessings to the fatherless within the church, and the church as a whole, a calling he passed onto his eldest surviving son Hyrum Smith prior to his death.

Smith said that his religion " believe in the same organization that existed in the primitive church, viz: apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists ".

However, the term evangelist is rarely used for this position, the church retaining the term Patriarch, the term most commonly used in the days of founder Joseph Smith, Jr.

The most prominent reference to the term evangelist in the denomination's literature is found in its Articles of Faith, derived from the Wentworth letter, a statement by Joseph Smith in 1842 to a Chicago newspaper editor that the church believes in " the same organization that existed in the primitive church ", including " evangelists ".
