Who were the Manichees?

[Jash Comstock]

I know that they were a cultish group in the early church period who rejected the Old Testament, but beyond that I'm ignorant. Could y'all enlighten me?

Any links to sound articles/books would be interesting and helpful.

didn't they deny the human nature of Christ?
