Book Description
Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest religions, though it is not among the best understood. Originating with Iranian tribes living in Central Asia in the second millennium BCE, Zoroastrianism was the official religion of the Iranian empires until Islam superseded it in the seventh century AD. Centered on the worship of Ahura Mazda, the All-knowing Ruler, Zoroastrianism follows the practices and rituals set out by the prophet Zarathustra, according to the indigenous tradition. As one of the world's great religions, Zoroastrianism has a heritage rich in texts and cultic practices. The texts are often markedly difficult to translate, but in this volume, Prods Oktor Skjærvø, professor of ancient Iranian languages and culture at Harvard, provides modern and accurate translations of Zoroastrian texts that have been selected to provide an overview of Zoroastrian beliefs and practices. In a comprehensive introduction to these sacred texts, Skjærvø outlines the history and essence of Zoroastrianism and discusses the major themes of this the first fully representative selection of Zoroastrian texts to be made available in English for over a century.

In this captivating biography, we'll delve into the life of a man who not only shaped a religion but also left an indelible mark on the course of human thought. Zoroaster, also known as Zarathustra, stands as a beacon of wisdom and enlightenment in the annals of history. His story transports us back to a time when the world was vastly different, yet his teachings continue to resonate across centuries. Imagine the ancient world, a tapestry of diverse cultures, beliefs, and practices. It was in this backdrop that Zoroaster emerged, offering a revolutionary perspective that would change the course of spiritual thinking forever. As we embark on this journey, let's set the stage by understanding the historical context. Zoroaster's life unfolded in ancient Persia (now know as Iran), a land of fertile valleys and towering mountains. A place where the sun's rays danced on the landscape and inspired profound thoughts in the hearts of those who lived there. Our journey takes us back to a time before the modern divisions of faith had taken shape. A time when the concept of monotheism was a rare and precious gem, hidden amidst a sea of polytheistic beliefs. Zoroaster's story is not just about a man; it's about a revolution of the mind and spirit. Throughout history, certain individuals have emerged as transformative figures, guiding humanity toward new horizons. Zoroaster was one such luminary. His teachings weren't just words; they were the birth of a fresh perspective, a unique way of looking at the cosmos, morality, and the nature of existence. In the chapters that follow, we'll explore every facet of Zoroaster's life. We'll trace his footsteps from his humble beginnings to his profound revelations. We'll walk alongside him as he shared his divine vision and navigated the challenges that come with challenging the status quo. Prepare to be captivated by his teachings—teachings that emphasized the battle between good and evil, the importance of ethical living, and the worship of a single divine entity, Ahura Mazda. These teachings weren't just intellectual constructs; they became the cornerstone of a religion that would influence countless lives and cultures. Our journey isn't just a chronological exploration; it's an immersion into the heart and soul of a visionary. We'll unravel the mysteries behind Zoroaster's creation of the “Avesta”, the sacred texts that preserved his wisdom for future generations. As we venture deeper, we'll uncover Zoroaster's legacy—the profound impact he left on the fabric of history, his influence on other belief systems, and his enduring relevance in modern times. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Our journey begins with the most fundamental step—a comprehensive understanding of Zoroaster's life.
