Publisher's Synopsis
The word of the prophet Zoroaster - 'Zarathushtra' in the Iranian - was once the light of the world; his teachings influenced pagan Greek and Roman, as well as Jew, Christian and Muslim. In this volume Rustam Masani, a distinguished Parsi - one of the remaining members of this remarkable sect - recounts the life of the prophet and describes the background, doctrine and ritual of the creed.
