About Zoroastrianism: An Introduction To An Ancient Faith

Product Description This introduction to Zoroastrianism assumes no prior knowledge of the faith. The book presents Zoroastrianism as a deep and multi-faceted religious tradition that has been subject to a process of evolution and which, therefore, despite its apparent conservatism, is a dynamic and relevant to the twentieth century as it was when it was established some 1400 uears befpre Christianity. Zoroastrianism is shown here to be a living faith with a coherent theology and a persuasive ethic of good thought, good words and good deeds. Review “Recommended for general readers, all academic levels, and professionals and practitioners.”  —Choice “The author brings new ideas and insight to issues which have long been the focus of academic debate.”  —Expository Times “Everyone who needs to know about Zoroastrianism must read this well written book.”  —Dr. Pallan R. Ichaporia, coauthor/cotranslator, Gathas “Zoroastrianism addresses, in a unique and compelling way, ethical issues that are still alive in the modern world. Not only does it raise fundamental questions about what it is to be a human being, and the nature of good and evil, it also considers the relationship of humans to the natural world in a vibrantly positive light.”  —Dr. W. J. Johnson, University of Wales, Cardiff About the Author Peter Clark has translated several books from Arabic and is a freelance translator and consultant on Middle East cultural affairs.
