Publisher's Synopsis
The Sacred Books of the Zoroastrians, written by Frances Power Cobbe, is a comprehensive work that delves into the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the sacred texts of Zoroastrianism, including the Avesta and the Gathas, and explores the history and evolution of the religion. Cobbe examines the central tenets of Zoroastrianism, such as the belief in the dualistic nature of good and evil, the importance of free will, and the concept of the afterlife. The author also discusses the influence of Zoroastrianism on other religions, particularly Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion and the development of religious thought.THIS 62 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Studies New and Old of Ethical and Social Subjects, by Frances Power Cobbe.
