An introductory account of Zoroastrian teaching

Shaporji Aspaniarji Kapadia presents a brief sketch of Zoroaster’s teachings and the religious and philosophical ideas associated with the Parsi tradition. The description frames the book as an introduction to a faith whose ancient textual heritage is represented by the Avesta, offering a point of entry into its theology and philosophy. Its scope is explicitly concise, so the emphasis is on orientation rather than an exhaustive treatment of the tradition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking a concise introduction to Zoroastrianism and Parsi religious thought.
  • Readers interested in the philosophical and theological dimensions of religion.
  • Readers exploring the Avesta’s place in Zoroastrian tradition.

Book overview

ZOROASTRIANISM is a religion much commented upon by a few enthusiastic oriental scholars, and less understood by the general public. Out of the millions of believers of this faith in the bygone ages, there now remains a handful of devout followers, known as the Parsis. I have, therefore, ventured to put before my readers a brief sketch of the teachings of this divine prophet. I hope, that the strangers to the faith may find in it food for philosophic enlightenment, and the Zoroastrians themselves a subject for deeper and wider researches in the untold wealth of sublime theology and philosophy, now looked up in the monumental tomes of the ancient Avesta writings.
