Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins of the writings composed by the founder of Manichaeism, Mani. The author meticulously traces the evolution of these scriptures, exploring their deep connection to Gnostic beliefs popular in Babylonia during Mani's lifetime. The book sheds light on how Mani's writings were influenced by earlier Gnostic texts, such as those of the Sabians, Ophites, and Bardaisan. It examines the central themes in Mani's scriptures, including the dualistic struggle between light and darkness, the role of the savior, and the path to salvation through knowledge and ethical conduct.
