Just bad academic research. I ran into it all the time as a Theology Student. People from other Academic Disciplines would repeat something without a reference and it would become its own self referencing statement that after further investigation just proved to be some lazy scholarship by people not in the field. Like a historian making chemistry statements.
- cat199 10y agoThe main point of this article in my opinion, is not so much Zoroastrianism itself, as it is the conclusion that: " Iran’s many other legacies and influences aside, the all but forgotten religion of Zoroastrianism just might provide the key to understanding how similar ‘we’ are to ‘them’. " and so I would similarly presume that any editorial slant would likely take the loosest scholarly opinion to suit this thesis..
