A follower or believer in the Bardesanist philosophy; an adherent of the dualistic Christian theology of Bardaisan and his school.
From Bardesanism with the suffix -ite, indicating a follower or member of a group. This variant form emphasizes individual believers within the broader philosophical movement.
Bardesanites preserved their master's writings in Syriac poetry and complex hymns—when Islamic scholars later translated Syriac texts into Arabic, some of Bardaisan's ideas about free will influenced Islamic theology centuries after he died!
