The Mandaeans and related topics have gotten mentions in the blogosphere and elsewhere online recently, and so I thought I would round up some of those instances:
Brian LePort has been teaching about John the Baptist, and in the process, has been diving into the Mandaean sources.
Tony Burke noted, as did I, the Mandaeans as a significant omission in Nicola Denzey Lewis’ recent book, Introduction to “Gnosticism”: Ancient Voices, Christian Worlds.
Glenn Snyder noted the problematic treatment of the Mandaeans (and much else) in Robert Price’s recent book, The Amazing Colossal Apostle: The Search for the Historical Paul.
