Synopsis
Manichaeism: The Lost Religion of Light and Darkness
Mani, a third century prophet of ancient Persia, founded one of history’s most striking and ambitious religions. Known as Manichaeism, his teaching described a universe locked in an eternal struggle between Light and Darkness, spirit and matter, knowledge and ignorance. Once spread from the Roman Empire to China, it briefly became one of the world’s first global religions.
Then it nearly vanished.
This book explores the rise, teachings, expansion, and decline of Manichaeism, drawing on modern scholarship and archaeological discoveries to reconstruct a faith long known only through its enemies. It reveals a complex system of cosmology, ethics, and spiritual discipline centered on salvation through knowledge and the liberation of the divine light within humanity.
Both a history and an exploration of ideas, it shows how Mani’s vision shaped religious thought across continents and still echoes today in discussions of morality, psychology, and the human condition.
