Che cos’è questo libro
The Acts of the Disputation of Archelaus, traditionally attributed to Hegemonius, is a fourth-century Christian account of debates between Bishop Archelaus and Mani, the founder of Manichaeism. It matters as an influential early attack on Manichaean teaching, though historians distinguish its religious arguments from reliable evidence about Mani’s life.

Punto chiave 1 di 5
The Acts of the Disputation of Archelaus presents a confrontation between two accounts of God, evil, and salvation. Archelaus, a Christian bishop in Mesopotamia, defends the goodness of the creator and the unity of Scripture. Mani teaches a religion in which light and darkness belong to opposing eternal realms. Their disagreement concerns more than competing beliefs: it asks whether the world’s suffering comes from the misuse of freedom or from a conflict built into existence itself.
