The Gospel in the Divan — A Psychoanalytic Reading of the Words of Jesus

A groundbreaking journey through the words of Jesus in the light of psychoanalysis. Written by André A. S. Marinho, a psychoanalyst with more than 28 years of experience, this e-book reveals how the parables, encounters, and silences of the Gospels speak directly to the unconscious mind — and how they can transform your inner life.

You may have read the Gospels many times… yet still feel that something remains hidden.

What if each parable of Jesus were both a spiritual key and a mirror of your soul?

What if Christ’s encounters with the blind man, the Samaritan woman, the rich young ruler, or Peter had something to reveal about your own desires, fears, guilt, and inner conflicts?

The Gospel in the Divan is a rare invitation: to read Jesus through the sensitive listening of psychoanalysis — without reducing faith, without turning the sacred into mere psychology, and without violating the Christian tradition.

It is a bridge between the Eternal Word and the human unconscious. Between what Christ spoke two thousand years ago and what still needs to be heard today — silently, within yourself.
