He brings a historical and methodological sophistication to his work that is sorely lacking in many studies of the patristic period. BeDuhn's deep knowledge of primary Manichaean sources and ritual procedures, along with his formidable grasp of his subject, makes him uniquely qualified to tackle the central importance of Manichaeism within a figure that looms so large in western intellectual tradition, but whose story is so often incompletely told.\" * \u003ci\u003eJournal of Early Christian Studies\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"What did Augustine see in Manichaeism? Why did he stay so long? . . .
