This category lists works related to Mormonism, also known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or simply "LDS".

Joseph Smith described a vision where God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to him in a grove of trees. This event, and the belief that all men and women can learn of and know God through revelation, are fundamental tenets of Mormonism.
