Publisher Description

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.

Review

I have not read the book, but correcting the information describing the mandaeans.The Mandaeans did not rise at the same time as Christianity and they don’t live only in Santiago and New York.They are living all over the world right now and this religion started since Adam and the holy book of the mandaeans was completed more than 2000 years ago and was added to it by John the Baptist.
