Autorenporträt

James Edward Talmage (1862–1933) was an English-born American scholar, educator, scientist, and a prominent theologian within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Talmage was notably recognized for his work in education and religion, becoming a well-respected figure in both fields. He held professorships in geology and chemistry at Brigham Young Academy and later at the University of Utah, contributing substantially to the academic landscape of the American West. His scholarly pursuits, however, extended beyond secular academics into the realm of religious education. As an LDS Church leader, he authored several theological texts that continue to be influential, including 'Jesus the Christ' and 'The Articles of Faith', which expound on the beliefs and doctrines of the church. In 'The Great Apostasy - In the Light of Scriptural and Secular History', Talmage discusses the concept of apostasy—the perceived falling away from the teachings of Jesus Christ—and examines it through both biblical texts and historical accounts. This work, like his others, offers rich insights into Talmage's interpretive lens, building a bridge between scriptural doctrine and scholarly research. It reveals his methodical approach to scripture and his dedication to illuminating religious truths through careful analysis. Talmage's contributions remain a significant part of Latter-day Saint theological literature and educational discourse.
