"Overall, Manichaeism East and West offers a glimpse of the most current work on this transregional ancient religion. It is a must for all research libraries, as well as scholars interested in the various Manichaean traditions of the ancient Near East, China, and the Roman Empire." (Mattias Brand, in Ancient Near Eastern Studies, 56, 2019, p. 396)
"As this brief survey indicates, Manichaeism East and West offers a collection of high-quality papers dealing with both historic and current themes in the study of Manichaeism. It makes an important contribution to Manichaean scholarship, as well to emergent academic concerns with the origins of global histories, and highlights the important contribution made by the followers of Mani to this field." (Nicholas J. Baker-Brian, in Journal of Ecclesiastical History, 70, 2019, p. 584)
