The Zend-Avesta and Eastern Religions (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book delves into the fascinating world of ancient Persian religion, exploring the doctrines and writings of Zoroaster, the revered prophet who is credited with shaping the beliefs of the Parsees. You'll learn about the intricacies of the Zend-Avesta, the sacred text of Zoroastrianism, and its parallels to other ancient religious traditions like Judaism, Christianity, and even Hinduism and Buddhism. The author takes you on a journey through time, examining the historical context of Zoroaster's teachings, and the ways in which his ideas, including dualism, the concept of a Messiah, and the importance of ethical living, resonated with later religious movements. You'll also encounter detailed discussions of Zoroaster's teachings on purity, morality, and the afterlife, and discover how these concepts informed the development of religious thought in both the East and the West. This book is a compelling exploration of a complex and influential religious tradition, offering a fresh perspective on the interconnectedness of religious ideas and the enduring legacy of Zoroaster's profound teachings.
