Description

Mani's Life and Work: Transforming Evil by Richard Seddon explores the influential teachings of Mani, the founder of the spiritual movement known as Manichaeism. This Gnostic religion spread rapidly across Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe before being suppressed.

Archaeological discoveries in the 20th century shed new light on Mani's biography and philosophical thought, but it was Rudolf Steiner who provided key esoteric insights into his life and work years earlier. Richard Seddon brings together academic and esoteric perspectives to create a vivid picture of Mani and Manichaeism.

The book offers a concise outline of Mani's life, the core principles of his teachings, and a glimpse into the future spiritual role of Manichaeism. Seddon portrays Mani as a great Christian initiate who led a movement with the critical task of transforming and redeeming evil.
