A new view of Jesus as a Buddha-like wisdom teacher who taught the transformation of consciousness-includes traditional meditative practices you can do yourself

If you put aside what you think you know about Jesus and approach the Gospels as though for the first time, something remarkable happens- Jesus emerges as a teacher of the transformation of consciousness.

The Wisdom Jesus provides a new perspective on Christ and an expansive interpretation of His message. Cynthia Bourgeault creates a masterful guide to Jesus's vision and the traditional contemplative practices you can use to experience the heart of his teachings for yourself.

Reviews for The Wisdom Jesus: Transforming Heart and Mind--A New Perspective on Christ and His Message

There are few spiritual teachers who give us genuinely fresh insight, but even fewer who give us the tools so we can come to those insights for ourselves. Cynthia Bourgeault does both, and does them very well! Richard Rohr, OFM, author of Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer A masterful work. Cynthia Bourgeault invites us to follow Jesus's path of self-emptying love, and she describes wisdom practices that we Christians can use every day to transform our own minds so that we too can see with the eyes of Christ. Jim Marion, author of Putting on the Mind of Christ Bourgeault centers her expansive house of wisdom in the sayings and extraordinary death of the gospel Jesus as she turns light and darkness into a living poetry of self-emptying vision. Willis Barnstone, author of The Other Bible, coauthor of The Gnostic Bible
