Emerging from Darkness: Studies in the Recovery of Manichaean Sources: Studies in the Recovery of Manichaen Sources: 43 (Nag Hammadi and Manichaean Studies, 43) - Tapa dura

'...no future studies on Manichaeism and its source material can afford to bypass this work...' Edgar C. Polome, The Journal of Indo-European Studies, 1999.

This volume contains several presentations of new Manichaean source materials and provocative essays upon them. The studies are authored by an international group of leading scholars in the fields of ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern studies, comparative religion, early Christianity, patristics, Turkic studies, and Coptology. Throughout the book the studies present and discuss a variety of source materials representing the vast geographical spread of Manichaeism. This book should prove to be foundational for future research on Manichaeism and late antique religions in general.
