The Coming of the Friars

Written by Augustus Jessop ‘The Coming of the Friars’ book sustains a detailed account of a theological debate between Archelaus and Manes, the founder of the Manichaean heresy. The discussion took place in the city of Edessa, in modern-day Turkey. The book sustains a valuable historical record of early Christian theology and the development of heretical movements in the early centuries of the Christian church.
