3.0 out of 5 stars A Gem of the World's Spiritual Heritage, May 24, 2000
By john f. kaska (seminole,ok) - See all my reviews
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Archaic, August 24, 2007
By C. One (SC, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is not a book that will interest you if you are at all interested in what Zoroaster and the Parsi religion is all about. The script is archaic and leaves one rather bemused as to what the author was trying to convey.
