Talmage said that he was honored to write for the church and that he intended his work to be a gift. However, after the first print run of 10,500 quickly sold out, church president Lorenzo Snow insisted that he receive a reciprocal "gift" from the church of $1,500 for the copyright. The book sold well for half of a century. Besides articulating well-established points of doctrine, The Articles of Faith addressed controversies concerning eternal progress, the Holy Ghost, the kingdom of God, rebaptism, and unforgivable sins.
Accompanying this edition of The Articles of Faith--an exact, photomechanical reproduction of the first edition--is another, albeit lesser-known work compiled by Talmage entitled Latter-day Revelation, a 1930 abridged version of the church’s Doctrine and Covenants that was apparently intended to replace the lengthier compilation. Latter-day Revelation was translated into several languages and was, for some time, the only version of the Doctrine and Covenants available in those languages. Yet the book quietly disappeared soon after its release. In the preface to the present edition, Talmage scholar James P. Harris explains why and provides further context for Talmage’s treatment of the Articles of Faith.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New Dust Jacket. Brand New!; A timeless classic of LDS literature, Articles of Faith was first published in 1899. Based on a series of lectures given by James E. Talmage in 1893 and 1894, the book was produced at the request of the First Presidency of the Church when Dr. Talmage was invited to prepare a text for use in Church schools and religion classes. For more than a century, this in-depth examination of the Articles of Faith, as given by Joseph Smith, has been a standard text for teachers and students of the gospel. In this attractive collector s edition, you will find the complete original content, a comprehensive index, and a gallery of beautiful illustrations by well-known painters Del Parson, Gary Kapp, Robert Barrett, and others. When the editor of the Chicago Democrat asked Joseph Smith about Mormonism in 1842, the church founder responded with a short history and a list of doctrinal statements identifying the basic tenets of the faith. This short list became known as the Articles of Faith. In 1899 James Talmage published his ground-breaking treatise that bore the same name a book that has been a standard of Mormon thought for over a century. Topics include the nature of God, the atonement, sacraments and ordinances, Zion, the purpose of the Book of Mormon, and humankind in the nation, church, and cosmos.
