歷史

曼达安教十字架

大多數的學者都認為曼達安教歷史早於基督教,不過也有部分學者認為曼達安出現時間晚於基督教創立。[4]曼達安人在西元一世紀時從南黎凡特遷徙至美索不達米亞,他們是閃族人,使用東部亞拉姆語的其中一支方言曼達安語,他們的起源可能與納巴泰人有密切關聯。[5] 部分研究者认为《可蘭經》中提到的拜星教就是现在的曼达安教。

分布

在2003年伊拉克戰爭之前,曼達安人主要居住在伊拉克[6],以及部分在伊朗;美軍佔領伊拉克後,許多伊斯蘭極端團體的暴力攻擊使得曼達安人逃離伊拉克[7],至2007年伊拉克僅剩約5,000人[6];逃離的曼達安人主要是遷往伊朗和伊拉克北部,小部分移民至敘利亞約旦,也有部分獲得難民庇護至瑞典澳洲美國等西方國家。目前全球約有 60,000至70,000名曼達安人。[8]

In some texts, however, it is said that Anoš and Manda ḏHayyē appeared in Jerusalem together with Jesus Christ (Mšiha), and exposed him as a lying prophet. This tradition can be explained by an anti-Christian concept, which is also found in Mandaeism, but, according to several scholars, it contains scarcely any traditions of historical events. Because of the strong dualism in Mandaeism, between body and soul, great attention is paid to the "deliverance" of the soul

The Light and the Dark: Dualism in ancient Iran, India, and China Petrus Franciscus Maria Fontaine - 1990 "Although it shows Jewish and Christian influences, Mandaeism was hostile to Judaism and Christianity. Mandaeans spoke an East-Aramaic language in which 'manda' means 'knowledge'; this already is sufficient proof of the connection of Mandaeism with the Gnosis...

Drower, Kurt Rudolph, Rudolph Macuch – that Mandaeanism had a pre-Christian origin rests largely upon the subjective evaluation of parallels between Mandaean texts and the Gospel of John."
