Adams on Mithras

Restoring the Mysteries: A Conversation with Peter Mark Adams on his new book ‘Ritual & Epiphany in the Mysteries of Mithras’.

 
Behzad Bolout
I love the idea of this book and I’m looking forward to to buy and read it. Only one thing looking at the text above there seems to be no mention of the origin of Mithraism, which is Iran and has nothing to do with Zoroastrianism, In fact, the prophet Zoraostara raised against it. And instead of looking for toots in europe it all goes to mystic Persia & Iran where it developed and during Parthian wars and trades took over Rome. The roman version has local signs and philosophy then after the birth of Mithras goes to its original Persian form. The Parthian belief and religion (Mithras) was wiped out after Sassanians took over. Thank god that their religion lived in in Roman empire (so we can discover its doctrine. Which later wiped out by christianity.
 
Sorry Behzad Bolour (correct spelling)
