Who is Jesus? A marginal Jew? A Mediterranean Jewish peasant? A liberator and healer? The Second Person of the Blessed Trinity? For Father Freeman, the question of who Jesus is can illuminate our deepest questions of meaning and identity: "The clarity and freedom of our self-knowledge determines how clearly we can see Jesus in the Spirit" In this beautifully written and thoughtful book, Father Freeman shows how Jesus, as "the guru within" can only be seen in the light of self-knowledge and thus not with mortal eyes but with spiritual vision.

"One of the 50 most insightful and inspiring books of 2000—an excellent guide to Jesus as a key to inner transformation."—Spirituality & Health
"The most refreshing and empowering book on Jesus that I have read in a long, long time."—Huston Smith
"This engaging, thoughtful book is written more from the perspective of a pluralistic, Jungian spiritual director than from that of a New Testament scholar. . . . A very readable book that asks readers to ponder perennial questions about the meaning of life."—Choice
"The question of who we say that Jesus is is the pole star of this book. Laurence Freeman shows us, with a gentle wisdom which comes from his combination of theological knowledge and psychological insight, that this is a redemptive question . . . the book takes us on a journey of exploration."— Esther de Waal, Church Times, 12 April 2001
"A very inspirational book which will be of immense value to meditators everywhere in the years that lie ahead."
—William Johnston, S.J.
"I feel sure that readers of this book, especially those who seek personal transformation and inner peace, will find much to ponder and apply here in their own daily practice."—The Dalai Lama
"Exceptional."—Today's Books/Public News Service, February 6, 2001
