This week: how should we think about the Devil if the universe is divided between good & evil, light & darkness, truth & falsehood? Is the Devil God's equal in these scenarios? And how does dualism live on in Christian thought?


We examine 3 examples of traditions frequently labeled as dualistic: the late-antique Essene community at Qumran in the West Bank as represented in the Dead Sea Scrolls, Manichaean religion of Persia and Babylon from around the same period, and the Cathar heresy of medieval Europe.
