For a thousand years, the Denkard has been the great library of the Zoroastrian faith - a vast gathering of theology, law, legend, and practical wisdom composed in the Persian language of the Sasanian world. Now, in clear and inviting modern English, this edition opens that treasury to today's reader. Here is the luminous vision of Ahura Mazda, the Wise Lord, and the ancient struggle between truth and the lie; the wondrous story of the prophet Zaratusht; a complete tour of the sacred Avesta; and the quiet, piercing counsels of the sages on truthfulness, generosity, marriage, and the care of the soul. Faithfully rendered from the original tradition and arranged for easy reading, The Denkard: Acts of Religion is a companion for anyone seeking the deep roots of good living. Part of The World Scriptures Library.
