Irano-Aryan Faith and Doctrine as Contained in the Zend-Avesta (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169822580)

""Irano-Aryan Faith and Doctrine as Contained in the Zend-Avesta"" by Albert Pike is a book that explores the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Iranian and Aryan peoples as recorded in the sacred text of the Zend-Avesta. The author provides a detailed analysis of the various concepts and ideas found in the text, including the nature of God, the creation of the universe, the afterlife, and the ethical code of conduct for believers. Pike also examines the influence of Zoroastrianism, the dominant religion of ancient Persia, on the development of these beliefs and practices. This book is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of religion and the cultural heritage of Iran and the Aryan peoples.He (Pike) knew that the Proto-Aryans and the Indo-Aryans were our physical, linguistic and philosophical ancestors; and he knew that the monotheistic Irano-Aryans were our religious, religio-philosophical and spiritual ancestors; and with his transcendent genius he places before our mental vision the habitat, migrations and early pre-historic history of these our ancestors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
