Daeva Cult in the Gathas

Explore the intriguing origins of the Zoroastrian religion in "Daeva Cult in the Gathas" by Amir Ahmadi. Published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 2015, this hardback edition spans 352 pages and delves into the complex relationship between the Zoroastrian faith and the ancient Indo-Iranian gods known as the daevas. Ahmadi presents a compelling argument that the staunch opposition to the daevas is foundational to the emergence of Zoroastrianism's core doctrines, including cosmic dualism and eschatology—the beliefs surrounding the fate of the soul after death and its journey to the afterlife. This thought-provoking analysis is essential for anyone interested in the interplay of ancient religions and their impact on modern beliefs. Discover the depth of Zoroastrian thought and its historical significance with this insightful book.
