Resumen del Editor

Who is Jesus Christ? In The Third Jesus, best-selling 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 2,000 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.

From the Compact Disc edition.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Jesus has now long since escaped the confines of church, Christianity and even 'religions'. Chopra's book thoughtfully presents a Jesus who is paradoxically both closer to the original and more available to post-modern people than the stained glass version." (Harvey Cox, Hollis Professor of Divinity, Harvard University)

Thank you Jesus and Deepak

What a breath of needed fresh air. This book was written in 2008 BUT it is more important than ever to read it now in 2020. I am listening to this book for a second time, immediately after finishing it. Deepak gives us historical information based on scripture. He takes that same scripture and gives us practices to implement it into our lives. And then he clarifies the hypocritical nature of the fundamental church and followers to what Jesus actually taught. Finally, he tells us what we can do now to support Jesus’ teachings. The only disappointment is that Deepak DID NOT read this book. It is beautifully read, but as a student of Deepak’s, I was hoping for his familiar cadence.

eye opener!

especially for an old Bible thumbing fundamentalist interested in enlightenment. learned a lot and enjoyed it thoroughly. I'll be listening to more of these.

Excellent book!

A much needed universal perspective of Jesus - free from the shackles of religious dogma and intolerance.

Not really a book I could get into

While listening to this book the author states that Paul was one of the 12 disciples and an apostle. Paul was never either of these to Jesus. This is a claim Paul makes himself. If you readHermetic Judaism it talks about how Paul sought permission to teach Rabbi Jesus teachings to non-Jews. Read this for the whole story of Paul.

Setting Paul aside the sections of the book at the end where it talks about sitting and meditation and contemplation while seeing what comes up is very valuable.

The author goes into detail about allowing things to come up and address them without suppressing them. This is very useful and very powerful. I myself have been doing this for some time now and whatever comes up I allow it to express itself while I love it.

The author makes a compelling argument that the real message has been lost to us because of all the power brokers (I use power brokers to ID all those who twisted the message for their reasons) twisting the meaning of the teachings. If Jesus were here today the power brokers would ignore him because they’d be two busy fighting over If he was really here or not.

This reminds me of the book 1984 which was meant as a warning to the world. Instead it became a manual for control. This is what religion today has become!
