  Manichaeism: The History and...

  During the first half of the 1st millennium CE, an empire arose in Persia that extended its power and influence to Mesopotamia in the east, Arabia in the south, the Caucasus Mountains in the north, and as far east as India. This empire, known alternatively as the Sasanian Empire or Sassanid Empire, was the last of three great dynasties in Persia - the Achaemenid and the Parthian being the first two dynasties - before the rise of Islam. In fact, many scholars consider the Sasanian Empire to be the last great empire of the ancient Near East. 
  	Many scholars have been fascinated with the beliefs and teachings of Manichaeism, dating as far back as the early Church. Christian theologians who acted as heresy hunters (including Augustine of Hippo) took it upon themselves to attack Mani’s new religion on the grounds that it was just another dangerous heresy that had cropped up in the fertile ideological soils where the powerful Roman and Persian worlds collided. As such, Manichaeism was dismissed as an aberration of the truth and was critiqued in many writings of orthodox church leaders. This remained a powerful influence for scholars all the way up to the 20th century, largely due to the fact that few if any original Manichaean writings had survived the centuries.  
  	Modern studies of Manichaeism began in the 1930s at the hands of Hans Jacob Polosky and Carl Schmidt, who announced the discovery of new 4th century Manichaean codices which detailed the beliefs of Manichaeism in greater depth than any prior text. Reliance on the polemics of heresiologists from both the ancient and medieval periods came to an end and the Manichaean faith could be studied on its own terms. Previous concepts about what Manichaean faith was had to be dismantled to make way for what these ancient believers in this mysterious religion actually had to say for themselves.

  How to talk about Jesus in a way that connects with modern culture. As followers of Jesus, we know that the good news is deeply attractive. But we often fear that to those on the outside, it comes across as irrelevant or even repellent. Sometimes, the Christian worldview feels so out of step with everything else going on, that we don't know how to share our faith.  However, author Daniel Strange wants to show you that the connections are there - in fact, the longings that our culture cannot help but express are the very ones that Jesus fulfils.  Building on the work of theologian J.H. Bavinck, Dan reveals five recurring themes that our culture can’t stop talking about, or, as he puts it, the “five permanent ‘itches’ that in our work, rest, and play, we have to vigorously scratch.” From TV to books to social media, these are the questions we can't stop asking and the tensions we can't stop wrestling with - and Jesus speaks powerfully into each one.  This book will help you to spot these connections in our culture, excite you about how Jesus makes sense of humankind’s deepest questions and longings, apply them to your own life first, and then equip you to speak of him to others in a way that is truly magnetic.
