Did Christianity Borrow from Mithraism? The Persian Origins Debate | Dr. Jason Reza Jorjani

On this episode of the MythVision Podcast, host Derek Lambert speaks with philosopher and researcher Jason Reza Jorjani about one of the most controversial topics in religious history. Did Mithraism, an ancient Persian mystery religion, influence the development of Christianity? Mithraism spread throughout the Roman Empire centuries before Christianity became dominant. Some scholars argue that many Christian symbols and traditions may have earlier parallels in this ancient religion. In this discussion they explore: The origins of Mithraism in ancient Persia Its relationship with Zoroastrianism Possible connections between Mithra and Jesus The symbolism behind Christmas, communion, and the cross How religions evolve through cultural influence and history Was Christianity purely a continuation of Judaism, or was it shaped by older mystery traditions from the Persian world? Watch the full interview and decide for yourself.
