Jesus the Christ: A Classic Study of the Messiah and His Mission - Paperback

by James E. Talmage (Author)

James E. Talmage's Jesus the Christ is a substantial theological study of the life, ministry, death, resurrection, and divine mission of Jesus Christ. First published in 1915, the work examines Christ's place in scripture, prophecy, doctrine, history, and salvation, moving from the premortal role of the Messiah through the events of the New Testament and into the continuing religious meaning of the risen Lord. Written by a leading Latter-day Saint scholar and apostle, the book combines close scriptural reading with doctrinal exposition and remains one of the most widely recognised works of classic LDS theology.

Talmage writes with formal authority and careful structure, presenting Jesus not only as the central figure of the Gospels but as the promised Christ whose mission reaches across the whole sweep of sacred history. For readers interested in Christology, Christian doctrine, New Testament study, Mormon theology, Latter-day Saint history, and early twentieth-century religious writing, Jesus the Christ offers a detailed and influential account of Jesus as Redeemer, teacher, miracle-worker, crucified Lord, and resurrected Son of God.
