Following this, Dobroruka discusses a variety of concepts that illustrate this influence, such as the role of matter and the material world, aspects of dualism and the cosmic struggle, the perspectives on the rewards for the just and the opposing punishments for the wicked, the idea of an 'Anointed One', shamanistic visionary experience, the resurrection, and the concepts of Sheol and Paradise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vicente Dobroruka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567705293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567705297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e T\u0026amp;T Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"Vicente Dobroruka","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075825791231,"sku":"9780567705297","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bec5bf9a-cf2d-4f62-a9e7-97f88866b881.jpg?v=1685461663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/persian-influence-on-daniel-and-vicente-dobroruka-9780567705297","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
