Zoroaster and Abrahamic Religions Part II: From Zoroaster to Moses

Summary

In this episode, we explore how sacred histories are not always straightforward records of the past, but deeply layered narratives shaped by memory, theology, and retrospective meaning. From the retroactive storytellingstructures in Abrahamic texts to the haunting poetic legacy of the Gāthās in Zoroastrianism, we reflect on the challenges of tracing historical truth amidst mythic resonance. Why do prophets appear fully formed in scripture? How do traditions remember and reshape their origins? And what makes Zoroaster such a singular figure in the history of religious thought? Join me as we peel back the layers of sacred memory and step into the luminous, elusive world ofsalvation narratives.
