Mission of the Messiah is a compelling new study of the Gospel of Luke that presents the messianic mission of Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. This book is a must for anyone whose heart is burning to know and love Christ more profoundly.

The Life of Jesus the Messiah is a five-volume set that discusses the life of Jesus Christ topically. In volume 4, the earthly mission of Jesus is discussed. Their nature of His life is explained and both the historical impact He had on the Jews living in His time and its significance to us today are discussed. The volume's organization makes it an ideal resource for both students and instructors. The volume includes complete scriptural references to the King James Bible, footnotes, a complete index, and a scripture index allowing readers to quickly find relevant commentary.

What was the true mission of Jesus the Messiah? Did He intend to set up an earthly kingdom? Was the church not prophesied in the Old Testament? Was the gospel age an afterthought of God, put in place because somehow the Jews thwarted His plan to establish an earthly kingdom? Using the Bible, and comparing it to writings from prominent premillennialists, James Bales utterly devastates their false assumptions and doctrines, and shows quite clearly that Jesus Christ fulfilled His mission, fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies, and established the kingdom of God in the first 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
