Audio Book Summary

Who is Jesus Christ? In THE THIRD JESUS, bestselling author and spiritual leader Deepak Chopra provides an answer to this question that is both a challenge to current systems of belief and a fresh perspective on what Jesus can teach us all, regardless of our religious background. There is not one Jesus, Chopra explains, but three.

First, there is the historical Jesus, the man who lived more than two thousand years ago and whose teachings are the foundation of Christian theology and thought. Next there is Jesus the Son of God, who has come to embody an institutional religion with specific dogma, a priesthood, and devout believers. And finally, there is the third Jesus, the cosmic Christ, the spiritual guide whose teaching embraces all humanity, not just the church built in his name. He speaks to the individual who wants to find God as a personal experience.

When we take Jesus literally, we are faced with the impossible. How can we truly “love thy neighbor as thyself”? But when we see the exhortations of Jesus as invitations to join him on a higher spiritual plane, his words suddenly make sense. In this way Jesus can be seen for the universal teacher he truly is–someone whose teachings can embrace and be embraced by all of us.

    Jesús your real teachings were not about religion they were about who your father really is he is LOVE the kingdom is inside us. This book is amazing explaining the real message people need to read it before commenting about religious views which in any way are related to the real Jesus.

    While I respect Deepak greatly and enjoy his books as well as his talk show, I was really disappointed in this book. It's basically just a quick over view of what we already know about Jesus, with a few optional opinions thrown in here and there, but nothing new, nothing interesting. He starts to touch on new ideas every once in awhile, but then quickly reverts back to traditional philosophy of who Jesus was and what he did.. Sorry Deepak, but in my opinion, with this book, you missed the chance to truly introduce us to the third Jesus we would really like to know!
