Synopsis
This book traces 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 and had a remarkable influence on other world faiths: to the east on northern Buddhism, to the west on Judaism, Christianity and Islam. With the conquest of Iran by the Muslim Arabs, Zoroastrianism lost its secular power, but continued to survive as a minority faith. Despite its antiquity, it remains a living religion., Zoroastrianism is of enormous importance in the history of religions. It became the state religion of the three great Iranian empires and influenced other world faiths: northern Buddhism and Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

    Item as described and seller answered all my questions, making me feel confident in this purchase. Exquisite care taken in packaging. Seller offered companion item, which I accepted, and shipped them promptly together. There was no void space in box which can lead to crushing when stacked during the shipping process. That did not happen. Box was pristine! I cannot wait to see my daughter’s face when she opens this on Christmas Day!  Thank you!!!

    This seller couldn't have been better! She answered my questions promptly, sent me photos I requested and when the book arrived, on time, not only was it in excellent condition, but she had packaged it better than any item I can ever remember receiving in my many years of purchasing on Ebay! She also worked with me wonderfully on the price of the book that I purchased and there is not enough good that I can say about this seller! Thank you and please feel totally positive about any purchase! :-)

    This OOP book was as described in the listing and was in excellent condition given its age and was a good price compared to other listings. It was dispatched promptly and arrived ahead of the estimated delivery date. It was very well packaged and couldn’t get much better protection. It was the first time that I’ve used this seller and would definitely purchase from them again.
