5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional! In depth and very enlightning., March 25, 1997

By A Customer

Talmage takes a very in depth look into the divine mission of Jesus Christ. Talmage explains Christ's role in Heavenly Father's eternal plan--from the preexistence to His earthly ministry to His glorious resurrection. You will not find a more enlightning book on Christ

5.0 out of 5 stars The Messiah an LDS perspective, August 23, 2001

By	Blah (New York, New York) - See all my reviews

This is the definitive work on the Savior by a terrific Mormon scholar. Talmage explores all aspects of the Savior's life including the premortal existence, Christ's visit to the American continent and the spirit world. It is not a quick overview of Jesus's life but is amazingly in depth. Make sure to read the notes as they contain many interesting insights into Jesus's world from the temple tax to formation of the Sanhedrein.

Not only is it a great scholarly account but its spiritual content is unparrelled. It will bring you closer to Christ than any other (non scriptoral) book can. My favorite book. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars An objective historical review of Christ and his mission, November 3, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Illinois) - See all my reviews

Talmage has a unique way of delving into the personality of the son of God...Jesus Christ. Throughout the pages he not only describes the personality but delves into the misssion of Christ and why he was what he was. The reader will come away with a better understanding of the trinity being three distinct personages: an understanding of the purpose of life; and most important becoming a witness of Jesus himself. Its worth the time and investment to get a personal copy for the family library.
