<br/><br/>Introduction: Narcissus and his double -- Reading Plato's many doubles -- Thomas, who is called "twin" -- Syzygies, twins, and mirrors -- Mani and his twin-companion -- Plotinus and the doubled intellect -- Whither the divine double? 
<br/><br/> What if you were to discover that you were not entirely you, but rather one half of a whole, that you had, in other words, a divine double? In the second and third centuries CE, this idea gripped the religious imagination of the Eastern Mediterranean, providing a distinctive understanding of the self that has survived in various forms throughout the centuries, down to the present. Our Divine Double traces the rise of this ancient idea that each person has a divine counterpart, twin, or alter-ego, and the eventual eclipse of this idea with the rise of Christian conciliar orthodoxy.
