Excerpt from Zoroastrianism and JudaismThere is only a very meager literature on the sub jcet about to be discussed. An attempt will be made to give an outline picture of Zoroastrianism, and then of Judaism when it came to be somewhat a fixed system in the post-exilic times. This will enable us to make the further attempt to give the leading religious, socia1, and moral conceptions in Zoroas trianism and Judaism, and to indicate under each heading something Of the probable in¿uence, or relation, of one system on the other. Throughout the whole discussion, the main sources Of informa tion will be the ancient literatures of the two re ligions. They will be referred to, or quoted, freely, in order that authority may be given for all facts stated.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
