For decades, scholars believed that ancient Hebrew letters from 419 BCE proved the continuity of Passover, but a new study shows that, if anything, Passover has Persian Zoroastrian origins. Dr. Gad Barnea from the University of Haifa joins Gil and Garry Stevens from the History in the Bible podcast to discuss his research into the so called Passover Lettersso-called.
Dr. Barnea is a Faculty Member at the University of Haifa, Department of Jewish History and Thought, he is a Research Fellow at the École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem, and for Project BEST at the University of Haifa, Department Of Biblical Studies, and an Associate Fellow at the Department of History of the Royal Historical Society.
