About The Mythic Cross
The Mythic Cross explores Christian mythology through an academic lens, blending scholarly rigor with a deep appreciation of cultural heritage. Our goal is to examine these narratives not just as religious doctrines, but as intricate cultural constructs shaped by centuries of tradition, reinterpretation, and evolving societal contexts. By bridging the gap between reverent appreciation and critical inquiry, we uncover the layers of meaning behind these stories—viewing them both as enduring cultural legacies and as complex mythological systems.
This platform serves as a meeting point for those curious about the mythological dimensions of Christianity. Whether you’re a scholar, an inquisitive reader, or someone seeking to better understand the cultural roots of these narratives, we invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we’ll explore the parallels between Christian mythology and other global traditions, examine its profound influence on art and literature, and trace the ways these stories have evolved across centuries of human experience.
The Mythic Cross is founded and maintained by Dr. Jorge Blanch. With a professional background in the sciences and a lifelong passion for cultural and historical narratives, Dr. Blanch brings a unique perspective to the study of Christian mythology. Growing up in a Catholic background, his journey has been shaped by theological studies, a formative experience at a Benedictine monastery, and an enduring fascination with mythological systems. This blend of personal insight and scholarly inquiry allows him to approach these sacred traditions with both empathy and critical depth.
