Gnosis und Spatantike Religionsgeschichte: Gesammelte Aufsatze

This collection of the author’s essays on Gnosis, the Mandaeans and Manichaeism covers both source problems (Mag Hammadi, Manichaean finds and texts, Mandaean manuscripts) and the situating of the gnostic-cum-Manichaean tradition in the context of the religious history of late antiquity, especially with regard to the early Christian Church and its environment. There is a focus on the new finds from Nag Hammadi, and their significance for a new picture of Gnosis and Manichaeism.
