RESUMO

This work aims at analyzing the book The Gospel According to Jesus Christ, written by José Saramago, a Portuguese contemporary novelist. It emphasizes the tragic path of the central character and its similarity to the Oedipus trajectory. The novel is understood like a bildungsroman that brings as its principal theme Jesus conflict with his Father. The path of this contemporary mythical hero is then compared with Oedipus course, Sophocles tragedy hero. The essay also attempts to stress some representative features of Saramago´s novel, such as the use of parody, irony and inner text to desconstruct religious speech.
