| Summary: | The past decades saw the publication of new Manichaean texts such as the Greek Mani-Codex and new editions of pivotal eschatological texts such as the Coptic Sermon on the Great War and Mani’s Šābuhragān. In combination with previously discovered Manichaean texts and, for instance, polemics from the churhc fathers, these texts enable us to construct a new sketch of Manichaean eschatology. The present article aims at presenting some of these new insights, while stressing the particular fact that Manichaean eschatology, both according to Western and Eastern sources, awards the central position in the eschatological events to Jesus. |
