""A Study of the Five Zarathushtrian, Zoroastrian, Gathas"" by Lawrence H. Mills is a comprehensive analysis of the five Gathas, which are the hymns composed by the ancient Persian prophet Zarathushtra (Zoroaster). The book provides an in-depth examination of the language, structure, and meaning of these important religious texts, which are considered the core of the Zoroastrian religion. Mills explores the historical context in which the Gathas were written and examines the themes and concepts that are central to Zarathushtra's teachings, such as the nature of God, the importance of ethical behavior, and the concept of the afterlife. The book is written for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history and philosophy of the Zoroastrian religion. It is a valuable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of this ancient faith and its enduring influence on world religion and culture.With Texts And Translations.
