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

By James E. Talmage.

"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.
