Le 5 decembre 2001, nous lancions le projet de la publication d'une Festschrift destinee a honorer notre collegue et ami Wolf-Peter Funk. La parution de ce volume etait alors annoncee pour le 30 decembre 2003, date du 60e anniversaire du dedicataire. Mais diverses raisons, au premier rang desquelles figure la generosite avec laquelle on a repondu a notre invitation, ont fait que ces melanges paraissent avec deux annees de retard. Mais a quelque chose malheur est bon: les lecteurs apprecieront la richesse, la haute tenue scientifique et la diversite de ces quarante-sept contributions qui, redigees en francais, en anglais ou en allemand par cinquante auteurs provenant de treize pays, temoignent eloquemment de l'estime et de l'amitie dont jouit Wolf-Peter Funk. Les editeurs de ce volume ont voulu l'ouvrir aux domaines auxquels s'est particulierement consacre Wolf-Peter Funk: la philologie et la linguistique coptes, les etudes gnostiques et manicheennes. Les contributions qui composent cet hommage illustrent par ailleurs assez bien ce qu'a ete l'activite scientifique et universitaire de Wolf-Peter Funk depuis son arrivee a l'Universite Laval a l'ete 1986. S'il y a poursuivi des travaux entrepris a Berlin, il s'est de plus en plus engage, a partir de ce moment, dans l'edition et l'interpretation des textes de Nag Hammadi en meme temps qu'il ouvrait un vaste chantier manicheen en devenant l'editeur des manuscrits manicheens des Musees d'Etat de Berlin et en s'associant a l'equipe australienne chargee de la publication des fouilles de l'oasis de Dakhleh (Kellis).

Den Kern des Buches bilden Beiträge des 3. internationalen Wortkshops „Coptica – Gnostica – Mandaica", der im Herbst 2017 in Prag stattfand. In ihnen werden mit Blick auf Wirkung und Rezeption biblischer Texte in außerbiblischem Kontext jüngste Forschungsergebnisse aus Koptologie, Religionsgeschichte und Theologie präsentiert. Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchungen stehen Schriften aus dem koptischen Handschriftenfund von Nag Hammadi, doch kommen auch Texte unter anderem zu Manichäismus und Mandäismus zu Wort und werden Überlegungen zu antiker und moderner Übersetzerpraxis angestellt. Insgesamt werden in diesem Band verschiedenartige Themen behandelt, die von allgemeinen Erwägungen, philologischen, literaturwissenschaftlichen und exegetischen Fragestellungen bis hin zu missions- und rezeptionsgeschichtlicher Darstellung in Wort und Bild reichen und das Interesse von Religionshistorikern, Koptologen, Theologen und klassischen Philologen finden dürften.

In 1996 the first volume of the CFM was published in the Series Coptica containing the edition of the first fascicle of the Manichaean Coptic Psalm-Book - Second Part by Gergor Wurst. Further volumes in the Chinese, Coptic, Latin and Uighur series will appear in a near future. All text volumes of the CFM contain not only the original text, and an apparatus criticus, but a translation in English, French or German too. Notes will be included as well as photographs. In the Subsidia of the CFM will be published handbooks, reference books and manuals. In the footsteps of earlier important bibliographical sections in books by e.g. Julien Ries (Les etudes manicheennes, Louvain, 1988) and Jes P. Asmussen (Studies in Manichaeism, Copenhagen 1965), the Danish scholar Gunner MIKKELSEN has prepared a new comprehensive bibliography of Manichaean studies in its largest perspective, encompassing 3606 numbered entries, fully updated to 1996, but already including a number of items published in 1997. The bibliography contains text editions and translations and scholarly contributions on the Manichaean religion and Manichaeism-related fields of interest (e.g. polemical, historical sources), either published as monograph or article, as well as reviews of these; a selection of works on so-called 'neo-Manichaeism' is also presented. The bibliography is subdivided in two sections: publications in (1) European and West Asian languages, and (2) in East Asian languages. The very useful index enumerates the text publications of Manichaean, anti-Manichaean and historical sources in all languages. This bibliography will undoubtedly form an indispensable working tool on the bookshelves not only of every scholar of the Religion of Light and Gnosticism, but will reveal the importance of this vast area of study to researchers in the fields of Classical, Oriental and Medieval Studies, History of Religions and Theology.

This book offers a new understanding of Sethianism and the origins of Gnosticism by examining the mythology in and social reality behind a group of texts to which certain leaders of the early church occasionally attached the label ‘Ophite.’ In the unique Ophite mythology, which rewrites the Genesis paradise story and is attested, for example, in Irenaeus’ Adversus haereses 1.30, The Apocryphon of John and On the Origin of the World, the snake’s advice to eat of the tree of knowledge is considered positive, the creator and his angels are turned into demonic beasts and the true Godhead is presented as an androgynous heavenly projection of Adam and Eve. It is argued that Hans-Martin Schenke’s influential model of the ‘Sethian system’ only reveals part of a larger whole to which the Ophite material belongs as an important and organic component.

A robust scholarly defense of the distinctiveness of the canonical Gospels. Do the four New Testament gospels share some essence that distinguishes them from noncanonical early Gospels? The tendency among biblical scholars of late has been to declare the answer to this question no—that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were grouped together by happenstance and are defended as canonical today despite there being no essential commonalities between them. Simon Gathercole challenges this prevailing view and argues that in fact the theological content of the New Testament Gospels distinguishes them substantially from noncanonical Gospels. Gathercole shows how the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John each include four key points that also formed the core of early Christian preaching and teaching: Jesus’s identity as messiah, the saving death of Jesus, the resurrection of Jesus, and Scripture’s foretelling of the Christ event. In contrast, most noncanonical Gospels—like the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Truth, and Marcion’s Gospel—only selectively appropriated these central concerns of early Christian proclamation.

How was the universe created, and what is our place within it? These are the questions at the heart of Plotinus' Against the Gnostics. For the Gnostics, the universe came into being as a result of the soul's fall from intelligible reality-it is the evil outcome of a botched creation. Plotinus challenges this, and insists that the soul's creation of the world is the necessary consequence of its contemplation of the ideal forms. While the Gnostics claim to despise the visible universe, Plotinus argues that such contempt displays their ignorance of the higher realities of which the cosmos is a beautiful image.

The contributions in this volume are focused on the historical origins, religious provenance, and social function of ancient Jewish and Christian apocalyptic literature, including so-called ‘Gnostic’ writings. Although it is disputed whether there was a genre of ‘apocalyptic literature,’ it is obvious that numerous texts from ancient Judaism, early Christianity, and other religious milieus share a specific view of history and the world to come. Many of these writings are presented in form of a heavenly (divine) revelation, mediated through an otherworldly figure (like an angel) to an elected human being who discloses this revelation to his recipients in written form. In different strands of early Judaism, ancient Christianity as well as in Gnosticism, Manichaeism, and Islam, apocalyptic writings played an important role from early on and were produced also in later centuries. One of the most characteristic features of these texts is their specific interpretation of history, based on the knowledge about the upper, divine realm and the world to come. Against this background the volume deals with a wide range of apocalyptic texts from different periods and various religious backgrounds.

Mystery and secrecy were central concepts in the ritual, rhetoric, and sociological stratification of antique Mediterranean religions. That the ultimate nature and workings of the divine were secret, and either could not or should not be revealed except as a mystery for the initiated, was widely accepted among Pagans, Jews, and then Christians, both Gnostic and otherwise. The similarities and differences in the language of mystery and secrecy across religious and cultural borders are thus crucial for understanding this important period of the history of religions. The present anthology aims to present and analyze a wide selection of sources elucidating this theme, reflecting the correspondingly wide scholarly interests of Professor Einar Thomassen in honor of his 60th birthday.

Ritual, magic, liturgy, and theurgy were central features of Gnosticism, and yet Gnostic practices remain understudied. This anthology is meant to fill in this gap and address more fully what the ancient Gnostics were doing. While previously we have studied the Gnostics as intellectuals in pursuit of metaphysical knowledge, the essays in this book attempt to understand the Gnostics as ecstatics striving after religious experience, as prophets seeking revelation, as mystics questing after the ultimate God, as healers attempting to care for the sick and diseased. These essays demonstrate that the Gnostics were not necessarily trendy intellectuals seeking epistomological certainities. They were after religious experiences that relied on practices. The book is organized comparatively in a history-of-religions approach with sections devoted to Initiatory, Recurrent, Therapeutic, Ecstatic, and Philosophic Practices. This book celebrates the brilliant career of Birger A. Pearson.
