About This Book
Step inside a landmark of Enlightenment scholarship that dismantled centuries of religious propaganda to reveal the true Mani: a brilliant Persian physician and philosopher who sought a universal faith. Isaac de Beausobre challenges the 'fables' of the Church Fathers, investigating how a maligned heresy actually shaped the foundations of early Christian orthodoxy and the problem of Evil.
