19th Century · stated scope
Mormonism, formally known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is a religious tradition founded in the United States in 1830 by Joseph Smith.

The tradition is principally associated with additional scriptures beyond the Bible, including the Book of Mormon, and a ecclesiastical structure headed by a president regarded by adherents as a living prophet.
