Overview

""Zoroaster the Prophet of Ancient Iran"" is a definitive and scholarly examination of the life and teachings of one of history's most influential spiritual leaders. This comprehensive work explores the origins, mission, and legacy of Zarathustra, the prophet who established the religious framework of ancient Persia.

It also contextualizes the prophet within the broader social and political landscape of the ancient Iranian world.
