Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a provocative re-examination of humanity's oldest religion, Zoroastrianism, arguing that it held a more thorough, insightful grasp of monotheism than previously understood. The author re-examines ancient texts, and historical linguistic cognates to piece together a picture of a faith that was intentionally accessible and logical, in marked contrast to the prevailing faiths of its time. The book also details how Zoroastrianism was the first religion to posit a heaven and a hell, and to envision the personal judgment of souls after death. The author argues that many of the later monotheistic religions, such as Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, borrowed many of their base concepts from Zoroastrianism, while obscuring or distorting them over time. A ground-breaking study, this book has implications for our understanding of the origins of religion, ethics, and the Western world.
