Şinasi Gündüz

Şinasi Gündüz is an academic in the history of religions whose research includes Christianity, Gnosticism, Mandaeism, and the religious traditions of Anatolia. St. Paul The Architect of Christianity examines Paul's place in early Christianity and the formation of later doctrine. The Knowledge of Life: The Origins and Early History of the Mandaeans and their Relations to the Sabians of the Qu'ran and to the Harranians provides a more specialized route into his work on Mandaean origins and neighboring communities. Change and Essence Dialectical Relations Between Change and Continuity in the Turkish Intellectual Tradition moves to a wider question about continuity and transformation in intellectual history. The Knowledge of Life suits readers seeking a denser historical investigation. Change and Essence then shows the range of Gündüz's comparative interests beyond a single religious community.
