When James E. Talmage was writing "Jesus the Christ" he studied the works of other Christian scholars. One scholar he did not reference was Henry Ward Beecher who wrote "The Life of Jesus Christ." When Talmage was a student at Johns Hopkins University he attended a lecture Beecher gave in 1884. Talmage took exception to statements Beecher made about Utah so he wrote a lengthy letter to a local paper to set the record straight.
