This thesis examines the theology-literature interface; more specifically, it analyzes theologically and literately the novel Entre Todos os Homens (Among All Men) by Frei Betto. The approach focuses particularly on the anthropological bias - the method proposed by Manzatto - since the analysis underlying the theological narrative of the novel as much as the literary analysis of Jesus' character shows a deeply humanizing theology. In truth, the research moves from theology to anthropology, that is, the image of God conveyed by the novel ends in anthropology contained in the Jesus character. It follows, therefore, that Jesus as a character of Entre Todos os Homens carries in himself the fullness of human existence, either by the theological resources or by the literary devices which the author uses. This means that being God-incarnate is precisely the Jesus character's close relationship with God himself who turns out to affirm and further emphasize his humanity in the pages of the novel, making, in this way, that this ancient character acquires again conditions to surprisingly convince the reader throughout the narrative simply on account of his human attributes.
