Publisher's Synopsis
The Life and Teachings of Zoroaster the Great Persian is a book written by Loren Harper Whitney that delves into the history and teachings of Zoroaster, the founder of the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Zoroaster's life, from his birth and upbringing to his teachings and eventual death. It explores the impact of Zoroaster's teachings on Persian society and culture, as well as their influence on later religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The book also examines the key tenets of Zoroastrianism, including the belief in a single, all-powerful God, the importance of good thoughts, words, and deeds, and the concept of a final judgment. Through a combination of historical research and analysis of Zoroaster's own writings, Whitney presents a detailed and insightful portrait of this important religious figure and his enduring legacy.1905.
