Summary: The most complete history of Dualism available
Comment: This book covers everything any sane person would ever want to know about dualism. I realize that if you are reading a book like this you are probably like me and not actually sane yourself. Nevertheless this is the most interesting and comprehensive book on dualism I have yet read. However, be warned this book is not for the faint of heart. I never thought I would read a book by a Bulgarian who has a bigger vocabulary than I do.(not that I am a sesquipedalian individual by any stretch of the imagination) This is not an easy read but it is well worth your time.

Rating: 5
Summary: Illuminating and detailed survey of the mysterious Cathars
Comment: This book is the best thing I have read on the history and beliefs of the medieval Cathar heretics, the other secret sects behind them (i.e. the eastern Bogomils) and their predecessors in antiquity. I found it a well-written and absorbing read and recommend it to all fans of historical mysteries and riddles.

Rating: 2
Summary: A very dense read...
Comment: This book is full of very interesting information on the early dualist religions but it is extremely difficult reading both theologically and linguistically. Definitely not for the casual reader.
