justification and purpose of this study
the purpose of this study is to determine and present the book of cormonsmormons contributions as a witness to the authenticity of the new testament account of certain events of christs life in order that teachers may have an effective instrument in teaching the historicity of the new testament account of christs life it is well known that the importance of christs life is being lost in the christian world when above all christian people and churches should be preserving and promolgatingpromulgating the divine mission of jesus christ many christians and their ministers do not believe that jesus was really the son of god many of the miracles and great historical events of christs life as recorded in the new testament are being questioned and are said to have been stories made up about 1 jesus after he was dead it is being taught that jesus was made a god by his followers and believers after his death and that he was 2 not divine and he was not resurrected the following quotation from a world renowned religious leader and scholar is an example of the disbelief in the divinity of jesus

As stated above many scholars ministers and lay christian members are beginning to take the view just quoted it is beyond the scope of this study to evaluate the criticism of the new testament history but only brought to attention at this point to show the need for additional evidence of the historicity of the new testament story
research dedesiendesign the first step in this study was to read the book of mormon and record every reference to new testament events and characters related to christs life the second step section A was to correlate these book of mormon references with corresponding new testament references the third step section B was to categorize the book of mormon passages according to the major periods in christs life the fourth step section C was to list under each major period of christs life the contributions the book of mormon has made to the corroboration of new testament history
limitations of the study 1ie no doctrinal comparison has been made except as it has related to a historical event 2 there has been no attempt made to show how the book of mormon may clarify a passage from the new testament except as it may relate to a historical event 53 the bible used in this study is the authorized king james version 4

PRE EXISTENCE OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS anticipated COMING

BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF GOD
the account of the birth of jesus christ the son of god as recorded in the new testament is well authenticated by visions and signs given to the book of mormon prophets and people nephi saw in vision the city nazareth and in it a beautiful virgin who would be chosen to be the mother of the son of godgodo he saw this beautiful and fair virgin carried away in the spirit and he saw her bearing a child in her arms the angel told nephi that the baby was the lamb of god the son of the eternal father king benjamin and others testified that jesus christ the son of god was to be born and his mother would be called mary the book of mormon prophets testified that the good news of his birth would be proclaimed by angels the book of mormon people were given a special sign that they might know of the birth of jesus viz there would be a day and a night and a day when there would be no darkness as if it had been all one day they also saw a new star as a sign of his birth the repeated testimony in the book of mormon is that jesus is the son of god in the flesh

the book of mormon writers support the historicity of the new testament account of christs life this support is in much detail starting with jesus being foreforeordainedordained and chosen before he was bomborn followed by his birth of a virgin as the son of god the eternal father the book of mormon verifies the greatness of jesus christ as a man and as divine and his ministry among the jews that he was without sin was crucified and the third day resurrected the book of mormon rejects the ancient and modern philosophy that jesus body was stolen and then stories spread abroad by his followers that he had been resurrected thus is rejected the theory that jesus is a man made god
As enlarged upon in chapter V he showed himself not only to many jews following his resurrection but he also came to the ancient 150 america where thousands saw him these book of mormon people heard the voice of god declaring that he whom they saw was his son who had been crucified and resurrected
