	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Manichaeism
		Manichæism was Chaldean astrology and folklore cast in a rigid dualistic mould; if Christianity was brought in, it was only through force of historical circumstances.
		Manichæism during the last twenty five years of his life; hence it is thought that the sect decreased in importance during that
		Manichæism, in consequence, was literary and refined, its founder was a fruitful writer, and so were many of his followers.

	Observations on Gnosticism and Manicheism
		It left lasting effects on the church, however, negatively in asceticism and the division of Christians into higher and lower orders (clergy and laity) and positively in forcing the church to a clearer definition of her doctrine and the limits of her canon.
		Manicheism has been described as Gnosticism with its Christian elements reduced to a minimum and Oriental elements raised to a maximum.
		Manicheism helped to foster the ascetic spirit in the churches and was in large measure responsible for the division of church members into clergy and laity.

	Tolkien, Islam, & Manicheism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Manicheism was a complex heresy which emerged in Persia in the third century and spread to the west.
		Our modern usage of the word Manicheism is keyed to the neo-Manichean heresies of the Middle Ages such as the Cathars (or Albigensians), the Paulicans, and the Bogomils.
		Christianity defeated Manicheism, which was a very powerful rival in the third, fourth, and fifth centuries.

	Iranica.com - MANICHEISM IN CHINA
		MANICHEISM IN CHINA, the spread of Mani's teaching in China and its literary achievements.
		Manicheism arrived in China in the sixth cent., but its history in there was little known until the first decade of the 20th century when a genuine Manichean text in Chinese, known to scholars as the Traite‚ (see paul pelliot), was discovered in the Cave of Thousand Buddhas in Tun-huang (Dunhuang).
		However, Manicheism continued to flourish and was rewarded with productive agricultural lands which were used for the cultivation of wine-grapes, despite the religion's rules against intoxication.

	FIRST THINGS: A Journal of Religion, Culture, and Public Life
		And what a perplexing event that is. Born of a pagan father and Catholic mother, in an area heavily populated by members of the Donatist sect, Augustine spent most of his early adulthood as a devotee of Manicheism, a Christian heresy.
		The dogmas of a now quiet past may seem remote, but they must be made to reverberate again with the katabatic forces that drove Augustine’s soul across the religious landscape of late antiquity.
		Manicheism, that strange dualism of Persian origin, is hardly explained.

	The Gnostics and Their Remains: Part V. Templars, Rosicrucians, Freemasons: Manicheism
		Manicheism has been so repeatedly referred to in the foregoing pages, as to make it necessary to give a brief explanation of the way, in which that strange creed may possibly have affected the religion of the Templars.
		And here, all is either assertion of enemies, or modern theory; hardly any monuments remaining that can be with certitude attributed to the Manicheans, though so numerous in their time, for they had drawn within their own circle every older form of Gnosticism in the interval between Constantine and Justinian.
		Or again, this absence of Manichean relics may be accounted for by the rigid character of the creed itself, the offspring of Magism, therefore regarding all imagery as idolatrous and sinful, a tenet latterly carried out to the fullest extent by the iconoclastic Albigenses.

	Mani: Gnostic Prophet of Dualism
		Thereafter, Augustine wrote a book condemning Manicheism, and his doctrine of the Fall—which became normative for Catholics—was also in part a reaction to Manichean thought.
		At its height in the sixth and seventh centuries, Manicheism was probably the most widespread religion in the world, with members found from Spain to India and China.
		Manicheism was most successful among the nomads of Central Asia, where it was declared the official religion by the king of the Uigur Turks in 762, and survived until the sixteenth century.

		At the foot of Wanshi Peak to the southwest of Quanzhou there is a strange temple, in which an eerie-looking idol with long hair is worshipped.

	Iranica.com - MANICHEISM, BUDDHIST ELEMENTS IN
		Mani, who came to be considered himself to be the seal of the prophets, named Buddha, Zarathustra and Jesus as his forerunnersò.
		The Parthians had close geographical and cultural ties with the Kushans, among whom Buddhism was well established, and certain Manichean texts reflect the adoption of Indian vocabulary into eastern Parthia, indicating that Buddhism could have infiltrated into the eastern part of the Arsacid Empire (Sims-Williams, 1983, p.
		By far the most discussed Buddhist element in Manicheism is metempsychosis, or the transmigration of the soul.

	The Canons of Dort - Christian Reformed Church
		Hence it clearly appears that those of whom one could hardly expect it have shown no truth, equity, and charity at all in wishing to make the public believe:
		that this teaching makes God the author of sin, unjust, a tyrant, and a hypocrite; and is nothing but a refurbished Stoicism, Manicheism, Libertinism, and Mohammedanism;
		Moreover, the Synod earnestly warns the false accusers themselves to consider how heavy a judgment of God awaits those who give false testimony against so many churches and their confessions, trouble the consciences of the weak, and seek to prejudice the minds of many against the fellowship of true believers.
