- Title
Religious Intercrossing in Late Antiqu Eurasia: Loss, Corruption, and Canon Formation.
- Authors
DILLEY, PAUL C.
- Abstract
The article focuses on religious interconnections in late antique Eurasia, specifically the role of Iranian prophet Mani and how he helped to transmit religious traditions between the East and West. The author compares Mani's teachings of Manichaeism to Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Jainism, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism. He explains how Mani claimed that the teachings of other religious founders, including Jesus, Zoroaster, and Buddha, had been corrupted by disciples, explores canon formation, and examines the history of transnationalism in relation to religion.
