Zoroastrianism, the smallest of the world's great religions, is
also one of the oldest. Founded more than 3,000 years ago by the
prophet Zarathustra, it flourished in ancient Persia during the
time of the Persian Empire. Scholars have long acknowledged the
contributions of Zoroastrianism to other faiths, including Judaism,
Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. Concepts such as the notion of
one God, heaven and hell, the dualism of good and evil, a savior to
come, and everlasting life can trace their roots to the religion of
Zarathustra. ""Zoroastrianism, Third Edition"" traces the history
and beliefs of Zoroastrianism and its followers' determination
through centuries of persecution and hardship into the present day.
The Iranian and Indian Zoroastrian communities in which the
religion has thrived without missionary efforts or vast numbers of
believers is also explored. The coverage includes: the message of
the prophet Zarathustra; the sacred fire; Zoroastrianism throughout
history; the Zoroastrian scripture, the Avesta; rituals, beliefs,
and rites of passage; and, traditional versus updated
Zoroastrianism.
