Description

Explore the origins of Zoroastrianism through a detailed ideological archaeology in this scholarly work from Routledge. This book investigates how the intense opposition to the cult of the daeva, the ancient Indo-Iranian gods, shaped the foundational doctrines of the religion. By examining the Gathas, which comprise the oldest portion of the Avesta, the text traces the development of cosmic dualism and eschatology. The author analyzes how the poet of the Gathas viewed the eschatological claims of the daeva cult as deception. This study provides a critical examination of existing theories regarding the transition of ancient religious practices into the Zoroastrian framework. It is an essential resource for those studying the fate of the soul after death and the passage to the other world within the context of ancient Iranian history and religious evolution.
