Zion · The Order

Another Testament

The Book of Mormon

The Earliest Text. Edited by Royal Skousen.

Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.

— 2 Nephi 2:25

Why it belongs

A people's covenant record—rise, forgetting, and return. Zion as a thing to be built, lost, and rebuilt across generations.

Echoes across the paths

The same structure, carried in other images—one tradition's metaphor mapping onto another's.
