Mandaeism, Manichaeism, or Zoroastrianism?
Added 2018-08-10 13:37:00 +0000 UTCThese three religions are among the most requested topics in the comments. I have a very busy video schedule planned between now and December, so I don't have time to do all three of these this semester...BUT, I want to cover at least one of these topics on the channel before December. Which one should I make a video about??

Zoroastrianism is included in the lectures that make up the Intro to Western Religions course offered at my university (though some have argued it should be in the Intro to Eastern Religions course). It is easily the most popular part of the course, even though the lectures dedicated to it are short and super rushed. Thereβs even a growing demand from students at my university (not just students majoring or minoring in Religion, but students from the dozens of other departments that the intro course is open to). Unfortunately, just the other day the Religion department head explained that there will never be a course on just Zoroastrianism despite the growing demand . Thereβs always been a policy where I study wherein all you need to do to get a subject taught as its own course is to gather enough signatures from students willing to take the course, so between 12 and 30 people, and the university will get a contract professor from a nearby city to design and teach said course. This is one of the few times in the past several decades that demand apparently wonβt cut it. π It is technically mentioned on occasion in more advanced courses on topics such as Apocalypticism, Eschatology, and a few other darker subjects. But thatβs about it. (Sorry for commenting so late to this post, but just thought Iβd chime in on Zoroastrianism π )
