Jesus the Christ is a doctrinal commentary on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. It was written by James E. Talmage and published in 1915.

Talmage was an apostle in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the book includes church doctrine on the role of Christ, including during pre-Earth and post-New Testament periods. This limits the appeal of the 42-chapter volume for some readers outside the church. Within the church, Jesus the Christ has been a popular read for over a century, and has been on the recommended reading list for full-time missionaries for decades.

Talmage, whose career was in academia, initially wrote Jesus the Christ as a series of university lectures. He compiled it into book form at the request of church leaders, and it was published on 15 September 1915. Despite this background and its size, it's one of his more accessible books.
