More about the book

Exploring the Mandaeans, this book delves into their identity as an ethnoreligious group from southern Mesopotamia, highlighting their unique Gnostic faith and practices, including the early adoption of baptism. Once thriving, their population has dramatically decreased since the Iraq War, leading to significant displacement and the formation of diaspora communities. The text also addresses the preservation of their language, Mandaic, and the challenges faced by both Iraqi and Iranian Mandaeans due to ongoing religious persecution.
