His 700-page book, Jesus the Christ, was published in 1915 and has been reprinted several times since then. Later, a room was set aside in the Salt Lake Temple where Elder Talmage could concentrate on his writing. Prior to his call to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in 1911, the First Presidency had asked him to write a book on the life and ministry of the Savior. The material in this publication has been taken from the book, The House of the Lord, written in 1912 by the late Elder James E.
He kept at it, crash after crash, until he mastered the maneuver.Įlder Talmage was an effective lecturer, and some of his talks and lessons became the basis of some of the books for which he is well-known, including The Articles of Faith. But this time he felt he could ride across. Normally, he dismounted and crossed on foot. Near his home was a single-plank bridge across a ditch. One evening he arrived home an hour late for dinner, bruised, bloodied, and dirty. During that time he bought one of the popular new chain-driven bicycles and rode it often. From 1894 to 1897 he was president of the University of Deseret in Salt Lake City (now the University of Utah).
They became the parents of eight children. Membership in many prominent scientific societies gave James Talmage access to important people and publications and helped him combat much of the prejudice faced by Latter-day Saints at the time. He went on to study chemistry and geology at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
Intelligent and thirsty for knowledge, James was a part-time member of the faculty of the Brigham Young Academy in Provo, Utah, by the time he was 17. James Edward Talmage was 13 years old when his family emigrated from their native England and settled in Provo, Utah.
