Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Zoroastrianism is the religion of ancient Iran, dating back centuries before the coming of Islam. It stresses the duality between goodness and evil, light and happiness, and darkness and suffering. The Zoroastrians are also the oldest South Asian minority in Britain--with a history going back to 1724. This is the first study of British Zoroastrianism, covering personalities, traditions, and the contemporary concerns of this enduring but little known ancient religion.

Review:

"Absorbing, sensitive, and exhaustively researched, this book will remain the standard work for many years. Essential for college and research libraries."--Religious Studies Review

Synopsis:

This text on Zoroastrians in Britain should be of interest to scholars and students of comparative or world religion, and to orientalists and sociologists.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. [311]-320) and index.
