The contributions examine the text's structure, apologetic and polemical strategies, and possible sources, and through these analyses challenge received notions of ‘orthodoxy’ and ‘heresy’ in the mutual construction of identity that took place between these two claimants to the Christian heritage.Nag Hammadi and Manichaean studies ;61.ManichaeismManichaeismControversial literatureHistory and criticismChristianity and other religionsManichaeismManichaeismRelationsChristianityManichaeism.ManichaeismControversial literatureHistory and criticism.Christianity and other religionsManichaeism.ManichaeismRelationsChristianity.273/.2BeDuhn Jason880144Mirecki Paul Allan184507MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782224903321Frontiers of faith3819369UNINA
