For many centuries Manicheism was a powerful and far-reaching
religion, rivaled only by Christianity in its scope, but today it
is virtually unheard of. It was more dualistic, Gnostic and
spiritual so became the arch rival of Christianity and was
ultimately stamped out. Every effort has been made to remove it
from the memory of humankind and, for the most part, these efforts
were a success. Today, however, there is a resurgence of interest
in Gnostic thought and teachings. This book will contribute a
wealth of new information that would otherwise be lost to history.
There is without question no better book on the subject. The author
has assembled every known lost fragment of the faith that could
possibly be found in order to accurately reassemble its doctrines
and teachings. The information is presented factually, without a
bias in either direction, to document this movement and its history
accurately. He lets the teachings speak for themselves, which
allows the reader to make an independent assessment regarding its
veracity. From an historical point of view the book is valuable
because it both broadens and clarifies our view of religious
history, showing what Christianity was truly up against and why
Manicheism remained so popular for so long. There is no doubt that
the prophet Mani was a great spiritual teacher - he had to be for
the religion to flourish for so long. It lasted for over one
thousand years in one form or another. Many of the holy books
written by Mani have been lost or destroyed, only fragments remain,
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, religious researchers
and those interested in alternative spiritual paths.
