About
Hello, I’m Dr. Jorge C. Lucero, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Brasília.
While my academic career centers on computer science, I’ve cultivated a profound fascination with the cultural and historical narratives woven into Christianity, particularly through the lens of mythology. My journey from a Catholic background, complemented by formal theological studies and a short but valuable passage through a Benedictine monastery, has equipped me with both an insider’s perspective and a scholar’s analytical approach to these sacred traditions.
At The Mythic Cross, I examine Christian mythology through an academic prism, exploring these narratives as rich cultural constructs shaped by centuries of tradition, reinterpretation, and evolving social contexts. My approach bridges the gap between reverent appreciation and scholarly inquiry, allowing us to understand these stories both as meaningful cultural heritage and as complex mythological systems.
This space serves as a crossroads where academic rigor meets accessible exploration. Whether you’re a fellow scholar, a curious mind, or someone seeking a deeper understanding of Christianity’s mythological dimensions, I invite you to engage in thoughtful exploration. Here, we’ll look for parallels between Christian narratives and other mythological traditions, examine their profound influence on art and literature, and uncover the layers of meaning they’ve accumulated through centuries of human experience.
Thank you for joining me in this quest. If you’d like to reach out, please feel free to use the contact form or email me directly at info@themythiccross.com.
