Jesus the Christ is one of a few extra-canonical volumes to receive the endorsement of the First Presidency. Further, it has enjoyed a longer circulation among Latter-day Saint readers than any other volume in Church history (by scores of decades [J. now recognizes that this doesn’t make any sense]).

Every missionary reads his stuff.
Nowadays, the bulk of religious scholarship I read is written by non-LDS, but Jesus the Christ and Articles of Faith were my first forays into that stuff.
