New From ‘Book of Mormon Videos’: Jesus Christ Appears in the Ancient Americas

The first in a new series of nine “Book of Mormon Videos” showing how Jesus Christ ministered in the ancient Americas is now available.

In the closing session of the October 2022 general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson shared a clip from the videos depicting the Savior’s appearance to the people of Nephi in 3 Nephi 11.

 

“Recently, Sister Nelson and I had the opportunity to preview the new season four of the ‘Book of Mormon Videos’ series,” the prophet said. “We were inspired by them!”

The new videos from 3 Nephi will be published each Friday in October and November. All are available in 15 languages: Cantonese, Cebuano, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Samoan, Spanish, Tagalog, and Tongan. They can be viewed on YouTube, the Book of Mormon app, Gospel Library (online and app) and Gospel Media (online and app).

Downloadable B-roll & SOTs

The following is the release schedule for the other 3 Nephi videos:

The first “Book of Mormon Videos” were published in 2019. Videos from the series have been viewed nearly 53 million times. They depict universal themes of family, faith and sacrifice through some of the book’s most beloved stories. The project is designed for a worldwide audience with varying levels of literacy and augments viewers’ study of the written word.

 

The videos’ creators work closely with Church leaders, scholars of ancient scripture and historians to accurately portray events and people from the Book of Mormon. The narrative relies primarily on scriptural language, and limited dialogue is added to enhance the flow of each episode.

Still photography from each episode is available here.

About the Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon is another witness of Jesus Christ and confirms the truths found in the Holy Bible — especially its testimony of the Savior. One Book of Mormon passage says that it “shall establish the truth” of the Bible “and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved” (1 Nephi 13:40).

To date, more than 197 million copies of the book have been printed and distributed in more than 100 languages.
