    Landmark Book 'Jesus the Christ' Honoured at Century Milestone

    Church History Library opens exhibit on publication penned by Elder James E. Talmage

    The Church History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is marking the 100th anniversary of the first publication of the book Jesus the Christ with an exhibit beginning September 8, 2015.

    The book was commissioned by the Church’s First Presidency and written by Elder James E. Talmage of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. The apostle first taught a course on Jesus Christ from 1904 to 1906. Over the next few years, Talmage worked on the book, but it wasn’t until September of 1914 that he was able to give his dedicated attention to the project. Seven months later, he had a completed manuscript.
