"Jesus the Christ" by James E. Talmage is a theological study written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive examination focuses on the life, mission, and divinity of Jesus Christ, delving into both ancient and modern scriptures to explore His preexistence, earthly ministry, atonement, and anticipated return. It is especially significant for readers interested in Latter-day Saint theology, as it is published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and reflects doctrines unique to that faith. The opening of the treatise introduces its readers to the historicity of Jesus Christ and underscores His unparalleled significance in human history. It highlights the author's departure from conventional biographical narratives of Jesus, choosing instead to begin with an exploration of His antemortal existence and divine foreordination. Talmage articulates the perception of Jesus as both a historical figure and a divine entity, asserting His unique status as the Savior and Redeemer of mankind through an analysis of scriptural evidence. The introduction sets a reverent tone, indicating that future chapters will cover key events in Christ's ministry, His atonement for humanity's sins, and His role in the grand narrative of redemption and prophecy, culminating in a look towards the future of His kingdom.
