The Iranian connect
The Iranian connection, and with it Cumont's intotpreratien of the tauroctony, came under concerted attack at the First International Congress of Mithraic Studies, held at the University of Manchester in 1971. Several scholars, chief among them John Hinnells of Manchester and R.L. Gordon ofthe University of East Anglia, suggested that Mithraism had in fact been created as a completely new religion somewhere in the Greco-Roman world and that it had merely adopted the name of the Iranian god to give itself an exotic flavor and an aura of antiquity. [THE MITHRAIC MYSTERIES.The icons of this ancient Mediterranean cult can be deciphered only in terms of a worldview that placed the powers controlling human destiny not on the earth but in the stars. by David Ulansey.Scientific American, December 1989].Το Πανεπιστήμιο της East Anglia, πρότεινε ότι ο Μιθραισμος είχε πράγματι δημιουργηθεί ως μια εντελώς νέα θρησκεία κάπου στον ελληνορωμαϊκό κόσμο και ότι είχε θεσπίσει απλώς το όνομα του ιρανικού θεού για να αποκτήσει μια εξωτική γεύση και μια αύρα της αρχαιότητας.Leonard Patterson, in his book Mithraism and Christianity, concluded there is no direct connection between the two religions either in origin or development. Patterson, Leonard, Mithraism and Christianity (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1921), 94, cited in Strobel, 170.Δεν υπάρχει καμία σύνδεση ανάμεσα στις δυό θρησκείες ούτε στις απαρχές τους ούτε στην ανάπτυξή τους.Yamauchi obtained a doctorate in Mediterranean studies, has studied 22 languages, and written 17 books including Persia and the Bible, which includes his research involving Mithraism. Edwin Yamauchi addressed each of the alleged similarities between Mithraism and Christianity and his conclusions are listed here:1,2,3,4,5,6 7.Any possible sacramental meal in Mithraism is unrelated to the Lord s Supper because it was initiated much later, in the second century. Furthermore, the Christian meal is based on the Passover, begun during the time of Moses. Strobel, Lee, The Case for the Real Jesus (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2007), 170-173.Το γεύμα των οπαδών του Μίθρα δεν έχει καμία συγγένεια με το Μυστικό Δείπνο επειδή χρονολογείται MUCH LATER κατά τον δεύτερο αιώνα.
