The House of the Lord is an informed, comprehensive study of
Christian churches modern and ancient. This superb edition includes
the forty-six original plate illustrations. By cataloging a range
of places of worship in the United States, this manual chronicles
the evolution of architectural styles pioneered in the country. We
see how the Christians of the Midwest gradually gained in ambition
and boldness, constructing larger churches and temples in
successive displays of devotion to the Lord. James E. Talmage used
his own status as a member of the Church of the Latter-day Saints
to receive access to the interiors of several churches he
describes. He photographed the most iconic interior and exterior
rooms, noting the differences in style and form present. This book
was originally published in 1912, and as such may be considered
something of a retrospective on the ascent of Christian belief in
the United States during the 19th century.
It is particularly congruous and appropriate that the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints-the only Church that affirms
authority based on specific revelation and commission to use the
Lord's Holy Name as a distinctive designation-should set forth her
doctrines concerning the Messiah and His mission. The author of
this volume entered upon his welcome service under request and
appointment from the presiding authorities of the Church; and the
completed work has been read to and is approved by the First
Presidency and the Council of the Twelve. It presents, however, the
writer's personal belief and profoundest conviction as to the truth
of what he has written. A characteristic feature of the work is the
guidance afforded by modern scriptures and the explication of the
Holy Writ of olden times in the light of present day revelation,
which, as a powerful and well directed beam, illumines many dark
passages of ancient construction. James E. Talmage Salt Lake City,
Utah September, 1915
Articles of Faith is considered one of the classics in Latter-day
Saint literature. It is the outgrowth of a series of lectures in
theology given by Dr. James E. Talmage, commencing in October of
1893. At that time Dr. Talmage was serving as the president of the
LDS College in Salt Lake City. The First Presidency of the Church
invited Dr. Talmage to prepare a text for use in Church schools and
religion classes. The book was first published in 1899. It has
since been published in thirteen foreign languages and been through
more than fifty English editions. It was last revised by the author
in 1924, at which time it was consistent with the organization and
practices of the Church as they existed in his day.
