Jesus' good fortune is that he was born before Freud. Let's imagine for a moment that the psychoanalytical reading grid is applied to the character described by the Gospels. What would you think of a person who claimed to anyone who would listen: "The Father is in me and I am in the Father"? What would you say if your neighbor came knocking at your door to inform you that "he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life"?Was Jesus crazy? Based on the Gospels, the author follows this self-proclaimed "son of God" in his actions and words and discovers that he can be diagnosed as a "megaparanoid", that is, a paranoid producing mythical projections. But the difficulty increases a notch when we know that Jesus fascinated ever larger crowds, over countless generations. Hence these other questions: what psychic illness did those who believed him suffer from? How was this love between madmen possible, between a megaparanoid shepherd and those he rightly called his sheep?
