The Third Jesus

Book Title:
The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot Ignore

Author Last Name:
Chopra

Author First Name:
Deepak

Publisher:
Harmony Books

Year Published:
2008

ISBN:
9780307338310

Book Review:

In The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot Ignore, spiritual author and teacher, Deepak Chopra, sets forth an evocative notion that in addition to the “historical” Jesus and “the one appropriated by Christianity,” there is a third Jesus, “who taught his followers how to reach God-consciousness.” This focus on Consciousness will likely be a new way for Christians to think about Jesus, and Chopra provides a wonderful context for thinking about Jesus in a new light. Chopra explores Jesus’s vision for human existence via eight areas, including nature, society, relationships, psychology, emotions, behavior, biology, and metaphysics, and contrasts it with how the reality of existence in these areas was actually experienced.
