The language of the book is very intellectual. I can’t believe I’d never read it before now.

Reading Jesus the Christ means you are s erious about studying the gospel. Jesus the Christ is the most important non-scriptural book to the LDS church. (Members of this quorum are addressed as “Elder.”) He was made a member of the Quorum of the Twelve, (the presiding council of the LDS church, under the First Presidency), in 1911. He was a prominent biologist and a Christian scholar. Throughout the writing process, he spent many hours in research and prayer to help him write this book. He wrote Jesus the Christ over several years, from 1911-1914. He wrote several books, which I plan on getting to at some point. Talmage was born in 1862 and died in 1933. Naturally, I’m biased, but I think this book is a valuable read for denominations of Christians besides Mormons. It’s also from an explicitly LDS (Mormon) perspective it talks about specific Mormon doctrines such as the premortal existence and the Spirit World, where we go after we die. Specifically, it is about the life and mission of Jesus as our Savior. It is simply amazing.Ī little background first: Jesus the Christ is, obviously, a book about Jesus. It took me an inordinately long time to finish, and now I’m way behind on my reading goal for the year, but this book is worth it. Talmage, this morning! It is an enormous book, at 736 pages. I just finished reading Jesus the Christ, by James E.
