| Meer info | Summary Born in Persian Mesopotamia in the year 232 CE, the self-proclaimed prophet Mani promulgated a dualist faith that rapidly spread throughout the Roman Empire, Central Asia and China. This monograph comprises a series of studies of the Manichaean conceptualization of death and the afterlife in the context of Manichaean soteriology, eschatology and anthropology. Material, documentary and liturgical evidence is analysed to enrich knowledge of Manichaean funeral ritual and mourning practice. The book explores the thematic symbolism of the corpse in Manichaean parabolic literature, offering fresh interpretations and exploring the influence of Buddhist teachings on the impermanence of the body, karma and metempsychosis. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1: The Journey of the Soul Chapter 2: The Hour of Need Chapter 3: The Care of the Dead Chapter 4: The Death of Mani Chapter 5: The Parable of the Drunk Man and the Corpse Chapter 6: The Parable of the Monk and the Virgin Chapter 7: The Parable of the Corpse and the Treasure Chapter 8: Manichaean Doctrine, Karma and Metempsychosis |
