Amos, son of Amos

Amos, son of Amos

According to the Book of Mormon, Amos was a Nephite record keeper. His father was Amos, and his grandfather was Nephi the Disciple. Mormon is thought to have abridged his record which consists of 26 verses in the 4th Book of Nephi [lds|4 Nephi|4_ne|1] . Amos must have been exceptionally long-lived, for he had custody of the Nephite records for 112 years, approximately from A.D. 194 to 306 (although a certain commentator [Brant Gardner, [http://frontpage2000.nmia.com/~nahualli/LDStopics/4%20Nephi/4Nephi1.htm 4 Nephi 1] ] suggests that this Amos may be referring to at least two different people). sourcetext|source=Book of Mormon|book=4 Nephi|chapter=1|verse=21|range=-46 are an abridgment of his writings. When Amos died, his brother Ammaron took over as record keeper.

Amos' record relates the degeneration of the society of the Nephites after the appearance of Jesus on the American continent. This degeneration is due to the pride of the people.
