Description
Apart from a few scholars and devotees, the modern public are unwilling to spend time reading through the whole of the lengthy scriptures of the world.
This title is offered in a handy and attractive form to convey the essence of great scriptures, translated and edited by one who has a deep and living sympathy for each of the religions.
This book is edited and in part newly translated from the Gathas and from the Avesta and Pehlevi books with a running commentary and Historical introduction.
