Moroni

Featured modernly as the image of an angel atop many LDS Christian temples, Moroni is one of the most notable people from The Book of Mormon. His fame does not come from his stories in the book alone, but his post-resurrection activities. 

Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith Junior following Joseph's meditation about his standing before God regarding his righteousness. Joseph Smith had seen God the Father and Jesus Christ in answer to his prayer as a 14-year-old teenage boy about what church to join. Having been instructed to join none of them and to wait on the Lord, Moroni appeared as a resurrected being to 17-year-old Joseph to instruct him about the former inhabitants of the Americas. Following is a brief treatment of the life of Moroni, the son of Mormon.

Below are links to differing articles that reveal the humanity of the great man and prophet Moroni as interpreted through the lens of Rodric Johnson. Rodric is a faithful LDS Christian with an abiding love for the testimony of Jesus Christ as it is revealed through the Book of Mormon, the book that converted him to Christianity.
