What is Barukh ben Neriah and Zoroaster Analysis about?
Jacob Neusner critiques the assertion that Jews identified Zoroaster with Barukh ben Neriah, arguing that this claim is unfounded and originates from late Christian-Syriac sources. He emphasizes that the earliest references to this identification appear in the 9th century and are not supported by Jewish tradition. Neusner concludes that the supposed spiritual genealogy linking Zoroaster to Barukh is a Christian construction rather than a Jewish belief.
