This book approaches Jesus as an individual who attained ultimate enlightenment. The traditional "dogma" of church teachings are set aside. Instead,Chopra tries to examine what Jesus says in the scriptures as an enlightened man rather than dwell on wheather he was literally the son of God. Chopra has consistantly over the years taught that every human has the compasity to find God within themselve. That God is esentially everywhere. He believes that individuals like Jesus, Buddah and others have been able to reach a level of connection to God so profrondly that their teachings reflect this. For those who have strong fundimental Christian beliefs where the only truth is thier truth this book would be disturbing. For those who are open to examing other spirital possibilies this might be a book to add to your exploration.
