Free audiobook of Talmage's "Jesus the Christ"

James E. Talmage's classic book Jesus the Christ is available as a free mp3 download (click here) from the Church's new website, jesuschrist.lds.org.

Since Elder Talmage made substantial use of then-current Protestant scholarship on Jesus Christ, the book is pretty dated from an academic view. An interesting companion to the book is Malcolm R. Thorp's article, "James E. Talmage and the Tradition of Victorian Lives of Jesus," Sunstone 12 (January, 1988), pp. 8-13. I think the book is still well-worth reading (or hearing!). It's pretty cool that the Church is providing it as a free audio book.
