Book Description

January 1, 1993 Forerunners S
In ancient Persia, the great prophet Zoroaster brought to his people a way of life that united them for 1000 years, and made the land now known as Iran into a fertile, prosperous region. Likewise, his example exerted a profound influence upon Plato, Aristotle, and the development of Judeo-Christian thought. Although some of these teachings have been preserved in the sacred scripture known as the Avesta, almost nothing is known about Zoroaster the man.

"Zoroaster: Life and Work of the Forerunner in Iran" is the first general-audience biography of the great Persian sage. This compelling and readable story shows how, through connecting completely with the guidance offered him by Divine Grace, the young boy Saadi matures steadily until he realizes his task and his true identity. As the long-awaited herald, Zoroaster, it was his purpose to unite the people of Persia into a belief of one God, Ahuramazda, and to announce the coming of the Son of Man, the Soashyant, who would lead this world into and through the Last Judgement. Before his arrival, the land of Persia was consumed by natural disasters that destroyed most of the people and almost all of their structures. A new society had to be built literally from the ground up, this time based upon God's Laws, rather than man's.

As we today are facing a new millennium, as natural disasters threaten our very existence, "Zoroaster: Life and Work of the Forerunner in Iran" is a book of particular relevance.

Review

...with this work, a general readership can know and appreciate the life of ... a spiritual leader of profound and lasting significance. -- NAPRA ReView, New Year, 1997

From the Publisher

In ancient Persia, the prophet Zoroaster brought to his people a way of life that united them for 1000 years, and made the land now known as Iran into a fertile, prosperous region. Known by Plato, Aristotle, and other Greek thinkers, Zoroaster's teachings helped shape the development of Judeo-Christian thought. "Zoroaster: Life and work of the Forerunner in Iran" is the first general-audience biography of the great Persian sage. This compelling and readable book shows how, through connecting completely with the guidance offered him by Divine Grace, he united the people of Persia into a belief of one God, and announced the coming of the Son of Man, who would lead this world into and through the Last Judgement. Before Zoroaster's arrival, the land of Persia was consumed by natural disasters that destroyed most of the people and almost all of their structures. A new society had to be built literally from the ground up, this time based upon God's Laws, rather than man's. Although "Zoroaster: Life and Work of the Forerunner in Iran" is a book drawn from the past, it is particularly relevant for today.

2.0 out of 5 stars Zoroaster: Life and Work of the forerunner in Iran, April 11, 2005

This review is from: Zoroaster : Life and Work of the Forerunner in Iran (Forerunners S) (Paperback)
Two stars at best for a book that is almost complete fiction. The problem is that anyone who has not studied Zoroaster (Zarathustra) gross fiction and misinformation in this book might hinder them from reading other books about the Zoroastrian Faith. This would be a tragedy. Zoroaster changed the spiritual direction of Man's thought even though, like most religions, the faith headed down hill after his accent.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile, July 13, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Zoroaster : Life and Work of the Forerunner in Iran (Forerunners S) (Paperback)
great book if you are interested in the spiritual side and also the folklore ( not accurate but best definition I could come up with) of Zorastianism and not the historical perspective ( which is hard to validate). In addition, the book is written like a story which makes it easier to read.

Most likely, the story told and the life of zoraster may not be accurate since detailed information is not available.

The only drawback is lack of details on Avesta and the Gathas.
