Bardesanist|bɑːˈdɛsənɪst|
[ad. med.L. Bardesanista.]
A member of the heretical sect founded in the 2nd century by Bardesanes, of Edessa in Mesopotamia, who, in addition to Manichæan views of good and evil, held that primeval man had an ethereal body, which was through sin enclosed in a gross carnal one, and that redemption consists in being divested of the latter and restored to the former. Hence Barˈdesanism.
