The Chronicles of the Children of Araneck is a scripture collection used by the Restored Branch of Jesus Christ, a Restorationist branch associated with Matthew Gill.
The collection presents itself as a record of ancient peoples connected with Britain. It follows a familiar Restoration pattern: an ancient record, a modern translator or revelator, and a new scriptural text used by a modern branch of the movement.
The Chronicles of the Children of Araneck includes two internal books: The Book of Jeraneck and The Book of Rayaneck. These two texts make up the main contents of the collection and are read together within the Restored Branch’s scriptural tradition. They are separate from the Book of Mormon, though they occupy a similar role as a newly revealed ancient record within the branch’s claims.
The Book of Jeraneck is one portion of the larger Chronicles collection. It presents itself as part of the ancient record connected with the peoples described in The Chronicles of the Children of Araneck.
The Book of Rayaneck is the other main portion of the collection. Like The Book of Jeraneck, it is not normally treated as an unrelated scripture, but as part of the same larger scriptural record.
Within the Restored Branch, The Chronicles of the Children of Araneck functions as the branch’s distinctive scripture. It reflects the broader Restorationist pattern of continuing revelation, new records, and sacred texts that extend beyond the Bible and the Book of Mormon.
