FROM CHRISTIANITY TO MVETT
An Ontology of Liberation Across Philosophy, Theology, and Science

This book explores the fi gure of Jesus at the intersection of
theology, mythology, and philosophy, questioning both his historicity
and symbolic construction. It highlights the interpretative tension
between the Synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John, understood
as two complementary yet distinct modes of representation.
This dual reading is articulated through an anabatic perspective, focused
on the historical Jesus, and a katabatic perspective, centered on the
incarnate Word. Together, they express a dynamic relation between history
and eternity.
Within this framework, Jesus is associated with universal solar
archetypes, including the “Unconquered Sun” (Malachi 4:2) and the
“light of the world.” This symbolic dimension is extended to a symbiotic
reading of mythological traditions in which certain fi gures function
as mediating archetypes between the human and the divine.
Accordingly, myth (nkani) is understood as a cathartic and interpretative
structure for rethinking human existence. The Mvett tradition
provides a conceptual foundation for this approach, introducing
the idea of a luminous principle (Eyo) permeating all beings.
Finally, the study situates biblical and African traditions within a
broader process of interpretation and renewal, highlighting underexplored
African sources such as the Mvett Ékang and calling for a reactivation of
ancestral Afrikan knowledge systems burgeoning from Maat.
