Abstract:
Disgusted with ISIS, some Kurds turned away from Islam following the fall of Mosul in 2014. Many became atheists, while others sought comfort in Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism, according to converts, was the “original” religion of the Kurds before they embraced Islam. In 2015, two Zoroastrian centers opened in Sulaimani, both of which are recognized by the Kurdish Regional Government in northern Iraq. Notably, neither has tried to recreate Zoroastrianism the way it is currently and has been historically practiced in Iran and South Asia. Instead, they have created their own versions of Zoroastr

Abstract:
The religion of the Yezidi Kurds, which has often been inaccurately characterized as “devil-worship,” has been claimed by Kurdish nationalists since the 1930s as the “original” religion of the Kurdish people. It has likewise been asserted that the Yezidi faith is a form of Zoroastrianism, the official religion of Iran in pre-Islamic times. These notions have won official support from most Kurdish political organizations and have broadly penetrated Kurdish society. The identification of Yezidism with Zoroastrianism is historically inaccurate, however, and should be seen as a product of modern n

Abstract:
This study explores the acceptances of the concept of apocatastasis in five of the most influential philosophical and religious traditions of antiquity: Pythagoreanism, Stoicism, Platonism, Gnosticism and Zoroastrianism. Apocatastasis, defined as 'restoration' or 'return to the original state', was interpreted differently in each of these systems of thought, reflecting distinct views on the nature of the cosmos, time and human destiny. In Pythagoreanism and Stoicism, apocatastasis is closely linked to cosmological cyclicity, implying the periodic renewal of the universe. Platonism emphasizes t

Abstract:
This article examines the emergence of Zoroastrianism in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq since 2015 as a new religion inspired by Kurdish nationalism, feminism, ecologism and humanism. The author argues that the emergence of Zoroastrianism at this particular time is due to a combination of the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant in 2014, legislative change and the importance some Kurdish nationalists historically attached to Zoroastrianism as the suggested original religion of the Kurds.

Abstract:
This article attempts to show the eschatological horizon of the Avestan prayer aṣ̌əm vohū. Its placement in the Yasna at the threshold of the Old Avestan corpus and the virtues ascribed to it in other Avestan texts reveal its high stature in Zoroastrianism. The sense of the prayer remains obscure in its current translations. The problem is in part due to the fact that the text is syntactically defective. One must assume that the significance attributed to it in Avestan tradition is a reflection of what it says, its actual meaning. This is the guiding principle of its interpretation in this art

This paper examines transreligiosity in the context of the transmission of South Asian concepts of spirituality to the UK in the 20th century. Between the 1920s and 1990s, Indian teacher and author Phiroz Mehta (1902–1994) crossed borders in a colonial and postcolonial shuttling between India and the UK but also transgressed conceptual and practice borders of religion, teaching Indian religious concepts to post-Christian spiritual seekers in 1970s–80s South London.

Abstract:
The article deals with the main components of the Manichaean religion. One of the main questions in the study of Manichaeism is: which component in this teaching is primary, Gnostic-Christian or Zoroastrian. The research of terms, in particular, of the proper names in Coptic, Greek, Latin, Syrian and Middle Iranian languages, allows us to assert that a particular form of the Gnostic Christian teaching was a basis, and Zoroastrian and Buddhist elements were introduced into the doctrine for a very specific purpose. In particular, the identification of Manichaean emanations with Zoroastrian deiti

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to study three gold coins from the pre-Hellenistic Egypt and Near East, housed in the Museum Casa de la Moneda, Madrid, since 1955. In all three cases, their description is made as well as a review of the hypotheses that have been issued on their typology. Some novel proposals are made about their iconography and the possible gold sources for the raw material. The first is a Daric, probably coined between the beginning of the reign of Xerxes I and the fall of Sardis under Alexander the Great.

Abstract:
In the nineteenth century, a number of Zoroastrians emigrated from Iran to India. The subsequent importance of the cultural, religious and political ties between the Zoroastrian communities of Iran and the Zoroastrian communities of India has long been recognised. But despite this, there has been little scholarly attention paid to the changing dynamics of this transnational relationship. This book examines the Zoroastrian community in the late Qajar and early Pahlavi period beyond the borders of Iran to trace this Parsi-Persian relationship.

Humans differ from animals in many ways. They follow a religion, make their own money, follow rules of their geographical limit..Our Universe is filled with many communities and religion. In that, Zoroastrianism is one of the oldest communities in our world. Its origin is Persia, the people who follow are called ‘Parsi’ or ‘Parsee’. Bapsi Sidhwa is a Parsi and also a spokeswoman for her community. The title The Crow Eaters represents ‘talkative persons’. Naturally Parsis are talkative and it is shown in the title. This novel is based on the life history of a Parsi trader Faredoon Junglewalla.

Abstract:
Abstract The category of “apocalyptic literature” was invented by the German New Testament scholar Friedrich Lücke in 1832 in the context of an introduction to the Book of Revelation. Lücke identified a small number of Jewish apocalyptic writings (Daniel, 1 Enoch, 4 Ezra, and the Sibylline Oracles) and also discussed some Christian apocalypses such as the Ascension of Isaiah. With the resurgence of interest in biblical theology after World War I, interest in the non-canonical literature subsided. A new wave of interest in this material arose in the 1960s, stimulated in part by the publication
