历史

[编辑]
曼达安教十字架

大多数的学者都认为曼达安教历史早于基督教,不过也有部分学者认为曼达安出现时间晚于基督教创立。[4]曼达安人在西元一世纪时从南黎凡特迁徙至美索不达米亚,他们是闪族人,使用东部亚拉姆语的其中一支方言曼达安语,他们的起源可能与纳巴泰人有密切关联。[5] 部分研究者认为《可兰经》中提到的拜星教就是现在的曼达安教。

分布

[编辑]

在2003年伊拉克战争之前,曼达安人主要居住在伊拉克[6],以及部分在伊朗;美军占领伊拉克后,许多伊斯兰极端团体的暴力攻击使得曼达安人逃离伊拉克[7],至2007年伊拉克仅剩约5,000人[6];逃离的曼达安人主要是迁往伊朗和伊拉克北部,小部分移民至叙利亚约旦,也有部分获得难民庇护至瑞典澳洲美国等西方国家。目前全球约有 60,000至70,000名曼达安人。[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

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."
