Dr. James E. Talmage first presented his study on the life and ministry of the Savior as a series of lectures sponsored by the Deseret Sunday School Union Board from September 1904 to April 1906. He was subsequently asked by the First Presidency of the Church to publish the lectures in book form.

Less than three years after Dr. Talmage was ordained a member of the Council of the Twelve Apostles in 1911, he continued working on his book, writing in longhand in a council room in the Salt Lake Temple. As chapters were completed, he presented them to the First Presidency, members of the Twelve, and the Sunday School board. In his journal, on April 19, 1915. Elder Talmage wrote that he had finished “the actual writing… to which I have devoted every spare hour since… September 14th [1914].” Published more than a century ago and translated into several languages, Jesus the Christ has become a truly classic volume in Latter-day Saint literature.
