<P> According to the Book of Mormon , Alma , the son of Alma ( / ˈælmə / ) was a Nephite prophet often referred to as `` Alma the Younger '' to distinguish him from his father , who is often referred to as `` Alma the Elder '' . These appellations , `` the Younger '' and `` the Elder '' , are not used in the Book of Mormon ; they are distinctions made by scholars , useful because both individuals were prominent during the same time period and filled a similar cultural and religious role . Alma is the namesake of the Book of Alma . </P>
