This book introduces readers to the teachings of Zoroaster, an ancient prophet whose ideas and writings profoundly influenced the development of religion and philosophy in the Western world. The author, a renowned scholar in the field, has spent many years studying and teaching Zoroastrianism. In this illuminating and accessible book, they provide a comprehensive overview of Zoroaster's teachings on God, evil, truth, and the path to salvation. The book is divided into five chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of Zoroaster's thought. The first chapter examines Zoroaster's concept of God, arguing that he was the first prophet to teach that there is only one God, who is all-good, all-powerful, and all-knowing. This idea marked a radical departure from the polytheistic beliefs that were prevalent in Zoroaster's time and had a profound influence on the development of monotheism in the West. The second chapter discusses Zoroaster's teachings on evil, arguing that he believed that evil is a real and powerful force in the world but that it is not ultimately victorious. Zoroaster taught that humans have the free will to choose between good and evil and that by choosing to follow the path of righteousness, we can overcome the forces of darkness. The third chapter examines Zoroaster's teachings on truth, arguing that he believed that truth is essential for both human and divine life. Zoroaster taught that we must strive to live in accordance with the truth and that by doing so, we can achieve happiness and prosperity. The fourth chapter discusses Zoroaster's teachings on the path to salvation, arguing that he believed that salvation is possible for all who follow the path of righteousness. Zoroaster taught that by choosing to do good and by following the teachings of God, we can overcome the forces of evil and achieve eternal happiness. The fifth chapter provides a brief overview of the history of Zoroastrianism, tracing its development from its origins in ancient Persia to its present-day status as a living religion with followers around the world. Written in a clear and engaging style, this book is an essential reading for anyone who wants to learn more about Zoroaster and his teachings. The author's deep knowledge of the subject matter and their passion for sharing it with others make this book a valuable contribution to the field of religious studies.
