Mandaean
(redirected from Mandean)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Mandaean

Member of the only surviving Gnostic sect of Christianity (see Gnosticism). The Mandaeans live near the Euphrates, southern Iraq, and their sacred book is the Ginza. The sect claims descent from John the Baptist, but its incorporation of Christian, Hebrew, and indigenous Persian traditions keeps its origins in dispute.

They are hostile to Jesus as the Christ but revere John the Baptist and see a universe where evil spirits try to keep souls from ascending to God.
