The Great Apostasy

Book • 2022
"The Great Apostasy" by James E. Talmage explores the historical and theological concept of a widespread departure from the original teachings of Jesus Christ.

Talmage argues that after the death of the apostles, significant changes and corruptions occurred within the Christian Church.

The book examines the gradual loss of authority, the alteration of doctrines, and the introduction of unscriptural practices.

It discusses the impact of philosophical influences, political power, and cultural shifts on the development of Christian traditions.

Talmage presents this apostasy as the reason for the need for a restoration of the true Church, which Latter-day Saints believe was accomplished through the Prophet Joseph Smith.
