From the Back Cover: This is an excellent introductory book, lucidly written and authoritative, having been written by a scholar of world reputation. This edition gives a representative selection of Dr. Taraporewala’s writings. It is in three parts. The first part provides a basic knowledge of the ethics, philosophy and morals of the faith of Zarathushtra. Dr. Taraporewala had spent twenty years in translating the Gathas of Zarathushtra, which forms the second part and the heart of the book. The third part presents a historical perspective in the form of essays on three forgotten religions of Iran: Mithraism, Manichaeism, and Mazdakism.
