In this dazzling new book, one of the most influential spiritual thinkers of our time provides an answer that is as challenging as it is uplifting. Deepak Chopra searches for the Christ who stands at the heart of Christianity and discovers the identity of Jesus, which is threefold. Firstly, there is Jesus the man, who lived over 2000 years ago and whose sermons form the foundation of Christian theology. Secondly, there is Jesus the Son of God, who represents a specific branch of religion. Finally, there is the Third Jesus, the spiritual guide whose teachings embrace humanity as a whole.By considering each of these separate figures, Chopra allows us to decide for ourselves which of them speaks the most clearly to us today. As we become familiar with the universal wisdom of Christ, most especially through the guidance of the Third Jesus, we may become more open to a truly loving spirituality. And we will begin to create a brighter future, free from hatred fuelled by religious fundamentalism.

Review:
'A good writer like Deepak Chopra is worth reading because here's a medical doctor working hard to marry up Eastern mysticism with Western pragmatism. His latest bestseller - The Third Jesus, is a thoughtful attempt to understand the Christ figure, and how we might usefully constellate that figure in our lives.' -- Jeanette Winterson, The Times
