Second Book of Nephi - Definition and Overview

2 Nephi (pronounced Second nee-fie), also known as the Second Book of Nephi, is the second book of the Book of Mormon, one of the four standard works of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS). It is held by believers to have been written by the ancient prophet Nephi, who they say lived around 600 BC.

Unlike 1 Nephi, this book has far less secular history of the Nephite people, but instead discusses visions and prophesies of Nephi himself and other ancient prophets, such as Isaiah.
