Die gnostische Religionsgemeinschaft der Mandäer, ursprünglich im Südirak beheimatet, steht in Verbindung mit Judentum, Christentum und Islam. Gleiche und ähnliche Überlieferungen werden aufgenommen und auf eigene Weise interpretiert und fortgeschrieben. Das Johannesbuch der Mandäer enthält neben Traditionen über Sem, den Sohn Noahs, und Maria (Mirjam) auch einen Traktat über Johannes den Täufer. Johannes wird hier als der einzig wahre Prophet dargestellt, der auch Sieger im Disput mit Jesus Christus bleibt. Dem Traktat zufolge soll die mandäische Religion das Judentum als weithin gültige Religion ablösen und sich auch gegenüber dem Christentum durchsetzen. Die Ausbreitung des Islams hingegen, mit der die Mandäer Bedrängnis, Verfolgung und Not, gar einen Vorboten des Weltuntergangs assoziieren, erscheint sowohl im Johannesbuch als auch im Ginza als teils schon gegenwärtig, wird teils aber auch als zukünftig prophezeit.Gabriele Mayer liefert neben einer Neuübersetzung des Traktats eine detaillierte Auseinandersetzung mit dem Text. Neben Ausführungen zur Metrik und der poetischen Struktur der Texte enthält ihre Darstellung Bemerkungen zu Textkritik und Übersetzung sowie einen Kommentar zu den behandelten Abschnitten. Zur Erläuterung werden sowohl andere mandäische Texte sowie Texte aus dem religionsgeschichtlichen Umfeld herangezogen, um so die Einzigartigkeit der mandäischen Tradition herauszuarbeiten.

This book argues that the intellectuals behind early Gnostic revisions of Genesis stories were second-century Christians with an ideological background in Greek-Hellenistic philosophy, who adopted and reinterpreted biblical narrative materials with a view to exposing the inferiority of the creator-God of Genesis and the ignorance of those Christians who continued to worship this God. It also discusses controversies between Gnostic and early orthodox Christians about the person and the mission of Jesus Christ. The first part examines the possible polemical function, the philosophical thought structure, and the narrative scheme of the Genesis rewritings, and continues with studies of individual episodes of the Gnostic myth, from the creation of Adam up to the story of Noah and the Flood. The second part focuses on Gnostic reinterpretations of the teaching and the passion of Jesus. The book includes essays about Gnostic theology, ancient and modern readings of Gnostic texts, and an appendix dealing with the ancient baptist community in which Mani was reared.

David Creech explores at length the Apocryphon of John's ambivalent treatment of the Jewish and Christian scriptures. Although Moses is explicitly corrected at five points in the text, Genesis' account of creation is nonetheless the basis for the Apocryphon's cosmogony and anthropogony. Its uneven treatment of the biblical text is the result of a dispute between the authors of the Apocryphon and other early Catholics. At the earliest stage of the text the Christians who wrote and read the Apocryphon worshiped alongside other early catholic Christians without any sense of contradiction or inconsistency. The key shift in the Apocryphon occurred after Irenaeus of Lyons' assault on “Knowledge Falsely So-Called.” In response to his concerted effort to bring the church under the authority of early catholic bishops, the framers inserted corrections to Moses. The corrections are primarily rhetorical and used to refute early catholic identity markers.

From the turn of the fifth century to the beginning of the eighteenth, Christian writers were fascinated and troubled by the "Problem of Paganism," which this book identifies and examines for the first time. How could the wisdom and virtue of the great thinkers of antiquity be reconciled with the fact that they were pagans and, many thought, damned? Related questions were raised by encounters with contemporary pagans in northern Europe, Mongolia, and, later, America and China. Pagans and Philosophers explores how writers--philosophers and theologians, but also poets such as Dante, Chaucer, and Langland, and travelers such as Las Casas and Ricci--tackled the Problem of Paganism. Augustine and Boethius set its terms, while Peter Abelard and John of Salisbury were important early advocates of pagan wisdom and virtue. University theologians such as Aquinas, Scotus, Ockham, and Bradwardine, and later thinkers such as Ficino, Valla, More, Bayle, and Leibniz, explored the difficulty in depth. Meanwhile, Albert the Great inspired Boethius of Dacia and others to create a relativist conception of scientific knowledge that allowed Christian teachers to remain faithful Aristotelians. At the same time, early anthropologists such as John of Piano Carpini, John Mandeville, and Montaigne developed other sorts of relativism in response to the issue. A sweeping and original account of an important but neglected chapter in Western intellectual history, Pagans and Philosophers provides a new perspective on nothing less than the entire period between the classical and the modern world.
