For centuries Manicheism was a powerful and far-reaching religion, rivaled only by Christianity, but today it has been almost entirely removed from the memory of humankind. This book contributes a wealth of new information that would otherwise be lost to history.
The author has assembled every known fragment of the Manichean faith that could be found in order to accurately portray its doctrines and teachings. The information is presented without bias to document this movement and its history accurately. From an historical point of view it shows what Christianity was truly up against and why Manicheism remained so popular for so long. It lasted for over one thousand years in various forms.
Most books by Mani have been lost or destroyed while his followers were killed and persecuted for centuries. What has been recovered has been painstakingly pieced together in this important work for the benefit of scholars and those interested in alternative spiritual paths.
