Mary Boyce Books
Nora Elizabeth Mary Boyce was a distinguished British scholar of Zoroastrianism and its associated languages, dedicating her career to the study of Iranian Studies. Her academic focus centered on religious and linguistic research, particularly delving into ancient Iranian religions and their literary traditions. Her scholarly contributions significantly advanced the understanding of these pivotal religious systems. Boyce became a leading authority in the fields of Manichaeanism and Zoroastrianism.
The book explores the 3,500-year history of Zoroastrianism, from its origins among nomadic tribes to its establishment as the state religion of major Iranian empires. It highlights the faith's significant influence on Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Following the Muslim conquest of Iran, Zoroastrianism lost its political dominance but persisted as a minority religion. Despite its ancient roots, Zoroastrianism continues to thrive as a living faith today.
