Review title: no personal witness by a so-called "special witness" just a tedious plagiarism
Product review: I was disappointed to note that the book is gleaned from and based upon the scholarly works of real theologians such as:Cuningham Geikie "Life and works of Christ"Federick Farrar "Life of Christ"Alfred EdersheimETCAs is clear and evident from the footnotes, endnotes, bibliography, Mr Talmage is simply an amalgamator and editor who has gleaned the basics from the above authors plus a few more, then written a concise biography on Christ and then contaminated such biography by injecting mormon dogma.Amazingly, Mr Talmage regards himself as a "special witness" of Christ himself!! and was sustained by his church as a "prophet seer and revelator" - however, as is clear from his book, from start to finish, Mr Talmage makes NO personal claim whatsoever to being a personal witness to Christ, and his book is entirely a scholarly analysis, based on the work done by other theologians of other denominations.
