800 - 9th century
800 - 9th century
The origin of Manichaeism is related to [[Zoroastrianism]]. That is why Bogomilism is sometimes indirectly connected to Zoroastrianism by affinity in the sense of its duality. The existence of older Christian heresies in the Bulgarian lands (Manichaeism and Paulicianism), which were considered very dualistic, undoubtedly influenced the development of the Bogomil movement with initial stirrings of thought toward forming another dualistic heretical doctrine near the end of the ninth century.
900 - 10th century
900 - 10th century
The Bogomils first appeared in the tenth-eleventh century in the Balkans between about 1000 and 1400. They arose as a sect of Christian heretics who promulgated a neo-Gnostic [[Anarchism|anarchic]] dualist doctrine in Bulgaria, and spread throughout the Byzantine Empire. The Bogomils called for a return to what they considered to be early spiritual teaching, rejecting the ecclesiastical hierarchy, and their primary political tendencies were resistance to the state and church authorities following the [[Council of Nicaea]] or the [[Nicene Creed]].

The gradual Christianization of the Bulgarian population, the fact that the service of worship was initially practiced in Greek, which only the elite knew, resulted in a low level of understanding of the new religion among the peasantry. Moreover, the purported [[corruption]] of the Byzantine church as an institution, ''[[Envy|as seen by its opponents]]'', led to grave disappointment among its recently converted flock. Due to the constant wars during the time of Tsar Simeon I, the lands near the Byzantine border (Thrace) were devastated, and the people living there were left without occupation. The constant change of authority over these lands, and the higher taxes during the time of Tsar Peter I, gave birth to a great social discontent at the beginning of the 10th century

The Gnostic social-religious movement and doctrine of Bogomilism that originated in the time of Peter I of Bulgaria (927–969), is alleged in the modern day to be a reaction against state and clerical oppression by the Byzantine church. It was an outcome of many factors that had arisen in the beginning of the 10th century, most probably in the region of Macedonia.
