The Mandaeans - Ancient Texts and Modern People (Hardcover): Jorunn Jacobsen Buckley The Mandaeans - Ancient Texts and Modern People (Hardcover)
Jorunn Jacobsen Buckley

The Mandaeans are a Gnostic sect that arose in the middle east around the same time as Christianity. What little study of the religion there has been has focused on the ancient Mandaeans and their relation to early Christianity. Buckley examines the lives and religion of contemporary Mandaeans, who live mainly in Iran and Iraq but also in New York and San Diego. She provides a comprehensive introduction to the religion and shows how its ancient texts inform the living religion, and vice versa.

Female Fault and Fulfilment in Gnosticism (Paperback): Jorunn Jacobsen Buckley Female Fault and Fulfilment in Gnosticism (Paperback)
Jorunn Jacobsen Buckley
R1,075 Discovery Miles 10 750 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Buckley challenges scholarly, stereotypical views of females in Gnosticism, which tend either toward idealization or outright devaluation. Examining six Gnostic texts or traditions that illuminate female figures, she analyzes a variety of females within their contexts. She makes no attempt to classify Gnostic females according to simplifying formulae; rather she treats them individually, allowing them to make sense within their own contexts.
