Abstract

The Study aims to reimagine the Christian Mission in sub-Saharan Africa through the lens of Engelbert Mveng's Theology of Life. Faced with deplorable conditions and threats to life in sub-Saharan Africa, the study navigates between critical analysis, comparative theology, constructive theology and imperative analyses of Mveng's artistic works to develop a new way of doing mission. it shapes what could be labelled Mission as Life Awakening, which seeks to break with life diminishing narratives, structures, and mortal spaces and reconstruct new arenas where life can be nurtured and affirmed spiritually and actively in all dimensions.
