Book Reviews of Zoroastrians: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices (Library of Religious Beliefs & Practices)
Book Review: alternate title: Zoroastrians - history of religious beliefs and practices
Summary: 5 Stars
The books focuses a lot on the history of Zoroastrian beliefs and practices. It's not so much a thorough dissertation of Zoroaster's original teachings. This isn't a book if you're interested in something that focuses on the life and teachings of Zoroaster (a.k.a. Zarathustra), himself.

Summary of Zoroastrians: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices (Library of Religious Beliefs & Practices)
This book, now re-issued with a new introduction by Mary Boyce, is the first attempt to trace the continuous history of the faith from the time it was preached by Zoroaster down to the present day-a span of about 3,500 years. First taught among nomads on the Asian steppes, Zoroastrianism became the state religion of the three great Iranian empires. With the conquest of Iran by the Muslim Arabs, Zoroastrianism lost its secular power but continues to survive as a minority faith.General Books
