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.

This book seeks to establish that Zoroaster, the great Iranian prophet, founded his religion about 1200 B.C. It flourished thereafter as the faith of empires, and sank to that of a bitterly persecuted minority. But through all changes of fortunes, it is argued here, his followers remained faithful to their ancient faith to be still living in the twentieth century. --- from book's back cover
