BLAINE: I don't know about Einstein believing in Jesus as the Messiah,
but he spoke well of one Mormon writer, James E. Talmage, who wrote a
book much used in Mormondom, titled "JESUS THE CHRIST." Einstein was

in print continuously since at least September, 1915. This date alone
blows apart the contention by some liberal preachers that an emphasis on
Jesus among Mormons is of recent vintage.
