Description
Zoroastrianism's roots run deep in history, dating back to the 6th Century BC. According to ancient accounts, its founder received a series of visions that led him to Heaven, where he was charged with enlisting humanity against chaos and destruction. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of Zoroastrianism, a faith that would go on to shape the development of several major world religions. At its core, Zoroastrianism teaches the importance of individual choice between good and evil, with the promise of an afterlife where souls are reunited with their bodies. This philosophy has had a lasting impact on Western thought, influencing Christian, Judaic, and Islamic beliefs in profound ways. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Zoroastrianism, shedding light on its often misunderstood principles and offering a fresh perspective on this fascinating faith.
