A Gem of the World's Spiritual Heritage,
By john f. kaska (seminole,ok) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teachings of Zoroaster and the Philosophy of the Parsi Religion (Paperback)
This is a nice little introduction to one of the world's forgotten religions. There's nothing complex about this little volume of spiritual texts. Basic precepts of Zoroastrian belief are explained and numerous quotations and prayers are given. There are hints of the influence of Zoroastrian belief upon Jewish and Christian thought. Leaving one to wonder what the world would be like if the Parsian faith were more widespread. My only complaint is that I wish it were more indepth, but have to remember it was written in 1908 and was probably a rare volume in its day.
