The Great Apostasy, Considered in the Light of Scriptural and Secular History

"The Great Apostasy, Considered in the Light of Scriptural and Secular History" by James E. Talmage is a theological work published in 1909. Written as a teaching tool for Latter-day Saint youth organizations, the book examines the Great Apostasy from the perspective of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Drawing on Protestant scholarship critical of Roman Catholicism, Talmage presents his church's view that Christianity departed from its original truth, requiring restoration through new revelation.
