Book of the Book of Mormon From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Book of Alma: The Son of Alma (/ˈælmə/),[1] usually referred to as the Book of Alma, is one of the books that make up the Book of Mormon. The title refers to Alma the Younger, a prophet and "chief judge" of the Nephites. Alma is the longest book in the Book of Mormon and consists of sixty-three chapters,[2] taking up almost a third of the volume.
Captain Moroni raises the "Title of Liberty", as found in the 1910 book Cities in the Sun.
The Book of Alma is the longest of all the books of the Book of Mormon, consisting of 63 chapters. The book records the first 39 years of what the Nephites termed "the reign of the judges", a period in which the Nephite nation adopted a constitutional theocratic government in which the judicial and executive branches of the government were combined.
