Parables and the Enneagram

Discover the hidden connections between timeless parables and the nine personality types of the Enneagram in this insightful and spiritually enriching book by Clarence Thomson. In Parables and the Enneagram, Thomson invites readers to explore how the stories Jesus told illuminate the inner dynamics of each Enneagram type—and how the Enneagram, in turn, deepens our understanding of those parables.

With clarity, compassion, and wisdom, each chapter offers:

• A parable paired with an Enneagram type

• Reflections on the core motivations, fears, and spiritual gifts of that type

• Invitations for personal growth, contemplation, and deeper self-awareness

• Insights for spiritual directors, faith leaders, and seekers alike

Rooted in Christian tradition yet accessible to all, Parables and the Enneagram is a powerful resource for anyone seeking transformation through the lens of story, symbol, and the sacred journey of the self.
