THE THIRD JESUS The Christ We Cannot Ignore

The well-known author and lecturer on spiritual matters presents his views on who Jesus is. A student of the Christian Brothers in his native India, he considers Jesus as someone quite different from the two Jesuses known by most: the "sketchy, historical" Jesus (the first Jesus) and the Christ of the institutional Christian Church (the second Jesus). Chopra's Jesus, the third Jesus, is the savior who showed the world by his life and teachings the path to God-consciousness. Shishir Kurup, an American actor of Indian descent, gives a fine performance. His voice is melodic and soft, masculine and easy to listen to. Clear and expressive, he avoids the pitfall of preaching the text. Rather, he engages the listener in a conversation about this man, Jesus.
