Зороастрийские мифологические мотивы и феномен христианской аккультурации в Сасанидской Месопотамии
Sergey Minov Zoroastrian Mythological Motifs and the Phenomenon of Christian Acculturation in Sasanian Mesopotamia Sergey Minov - Research Fellow at the Department of History, University of Oxford (United Kingdom), sergey.minov@history.ox.ac.uk The article analyzes two cases of borrowing Zoroastrian mythological motifs by Syriac-speaking Christians during the period of Late Antiquity. The first example, attested in the writings of Ephrem the Syrian (4th c), concerns the case of reinterpretation of the traditional image of biblical Paradise as a cosmic mountain, encircling the whole world.

Ардашир был коронован и принял титул "шаханшаха", "царя царей"1. История присутствия христианства на территориях, контролируемых ираноязычными народами, берет свое начало еще в парфянский период и восходит, по всей видимости, ко II в.2 Главным отличающим свойством внутренней политики парфян по отношению к различным религиозным группам, включая христиан, была веротерпимость. Хотя сами парфянские монархи, по всей видимости, практиковали не ... Читать далее
