I am so glad that I ordered "The Third Jesus".  I have read several of Deepak Chopra's books and have enjoyed them all. We've been taught about the man coming of age, gathering disciples, teaching and healing the masses.  We have learned about the "Son of God" being tortured and ridiculed, put to death only to rise again. This book gives an interesting slant on what life would have been like growing up and living in Nazerath at that time with all of the laws, traditions, and of course, the Romans. I highly recommend ALL of Chopra's writing.
