Summary

The present book restitutes a theological study carried out on some major concepts of the great Akhenaton hymn ; which are : the idea of the existence of a unique creator ; the presence of the creator in human culture and in history ; the need to live according to the spirit of Maat (truth – justice - rectitude – good) and to render service to « Neighbor » ; the conception of universal brotherliness and land equality between humans whose difference and multiplicity remain constitutive in their being ; the attention of the creator to the cause of the feeble and small toward violence from the great and mighty ; the universal vision of history ; the recapitulative place of the environment. Only a scientist of good faith can appreciate the real value of this hymn which is based on the creation of everything by a unique creator and signifies in a positive manner the diversity of human characters and the multiplicity of people under the sun. A contrary vision to this constitutes theological and moral regression. It should be understood from this erudition that the great hymn of Akhenaton bears a set of cardinal attributes of thought of the Nile valley and of the egypto-nubian perception of the whole universe. Basing on the title, the book prescribes that « today, the great hymn of Akhenaton must serve as ontological base of renaissance of the nilo-genous black people in quest of connexion with their multimillennium origin ». This is the summary of thee book written in Ciluba, one of the four National languages of the DR-Congo, spoken and understood by more than 40 million inhabitants right to Zambia, Tanzania and Angola. Key words: sun, God, glory, Akhenaton, mono-originism, creation, interculturality
