In particular, it employs papyri from Kellis (Ismant el-Kharab), a village in the Dakhleh Oasis, to explore the socio-religious world of lay Manichaeans in the fourth century CE. Manichaeism has often been perceived as an elitist, esoteric religion. Challenging this view, Teigen draws on social network theory and cultural sociology, and engages with the study of lived ancient religion, in order to apprehend how laypeople in Kellis appropriated Manichaean identity and practice in their everyday lives. This perspective, he argues, not only provides a better understanding of Manichaeism: it also has wider implications for how we understand late antique ?religion? as a social phenomenon Readership: All interested in the history of Manichaeism, in late antique religion and religious change in the Roman Empire, the application of sociological theory to papyri, and the archaeology of Kellis. 410 0$aNag Hammadi and Manichaean studies. 606 $aCivilization 606 $aManichaeism 607 $aKellis (Extinct city)$xCivilization 610 $aReligion: general 615 0$aCivilization. 615 0$aManichaeism. 676 $a299.932 700 $aTeigen$b Ha?kon Fiane$01261406 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910490028203321 996 $aThe Manichaean Church at Kellis$92935291 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00995nam0 22002531i 450 001 UON00211832 005 20231205103338.313 010 $a08-04-71831-8 100 $a20030730d1991 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aGB 105 $a||||0 ||||| 200 1 $aˆThe ‰reading of silence$eVirginia Woolf in the english tradition$fPatricia Ondek Laurence 210 $aStanford$cStanford University Press$d1991 215 $a241 p.$d30 cm Testo in fotocopie. 620 $aUS$dStanford (CA)$3UONL000066 700 1$aLAURENCE$bPatricia Ondek$3UONV127638$0549678 712 $aStanford University Press$3UONV246208$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20250307$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00211832 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI Angl VI B SMARRITO $eSI LO 52090 5 $sSmarrito 996 $aReading of silence$9964131 997 $aUNIOR
