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:

Islam and Zoroastrianism share remarkable similarities in their theological and eschatological beliefs. They both believe in the oneness of God, with different names (Ahura Mazda for Zoroastrians and Allah for Muslims) but similar attributes of omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. Both religions acknowledge archangels, with Zoroastrianism recognizing six and Islam recognizing four, along with other minor angels. Both religions consider humans as the pinnacle of creation and emphasize the establishment of justice and truth on earth. They share beliefs about the nature of the universe as

Abstract:

This article examines the institution of the family in the culture of Zoroastrianism. In modern society, there is a devaluation of the institution of marriage, which emphasizes the relevance of the study of family values in traditional cultures. There is a widespread opinion that Zoroastrians welcomed consanguineous marriage, however, the presented work emphasizes that this opinion is erroneous, such a marriage was not recognized as a norm, it is mentioned only in individual cases that were discussed in judicial instances, which in itself indicates the atypical nature of this phenomenon.

scripture has ritual uses aimed at giving religion meaning in daily life. in zoroastrianism, the niya¯yišns, ‘invocations of praise’, and the yašts, ‘devotional poems’ have played fundamental roles in connecting doctrine and theology to praxis and conviction whereby faith and rites have been transmitted and augmented across many generations. this article discusses some of the contents and traditions of each niya¯yišn and yašt plus the functions those religious texts have fulfilled and continue to serve for zoroastrians from ancient through modern times.

Abstract:

The article focuses on the representations of Zoroastrianism––an ancient religion originating from Iran that has survived until the present day—in comics. The religion is rarely represented in popular culture, including comics, and the article will reflect on two of the most important examples: Zarathushtra (1974) and Silent Was Zarathustra (2014). The article provides an analysis of the texts and their message and explores how Zoroastriansim is represented in the chosen comics from a comparative perspective, reflecting on the social context of respectively Indian and French production that sh

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the nexus between identity and religion through the lived experience of 3 terms: ‘Zoroastrianism,’ ‘Diaspora’ and ‘Pilgrimage’ (ZDP). All 3 aspects are deeply personal to me as a Zoroastrian, but also have a bearing on the sustainability, understanding and education of new generations of Zoroastrians; a small ethnic and religious community spread throughout the world. This thesis explores issues around the diaspora of Zoroastrians as well as the sense of re-connection and understanding of the faith emanating from pilgrimage. The Zoroastrian religion doe

Abstract:

Thesis (MPhil (Ancient Studies))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.<br>This thesis seeks to investigate the possible influence of Iranian apocalyptic on the Judaean apocalyptic literature, which was widely disseminated in the Near East during the Hellenistic and Roman phases of the Second Temple Period (c. 539 BCE- 70 CE). The similarities between Zoroastrianism and Judaism have been the object of scholarly study for more than a century. Iranologists such as Zaehner, Widengren and Boyce were particularly partial to the notion that Zoroastrianism influenced Judaism. They felt such influence

This study examines the history of the Parsi community from their arrival in India until the middle of the nineteenth century, giving special emphasis to the impact that other religious and social systems existing in India had on the formation of Parsi identity and also to the continuing influence of communication with co-religionists remaining in Iran. This study argues that Indian Zoroastrians, in attempting to formulate their identity in terms of the religious communities which surrounded them, have completely transformed those things that have generally been regarded as their religion's di

Abstract:

Although much has been written about both the ancient and the living traditions of Zoroastrianism, no detailed study exists on the role of the laity in the history of the faith. This is perhaps because the surviving religious literature, namely the extant portion of the Avesta, is mainly concerned with priestly matters. As a result, the role of the laity has tended to be overlooked, although, at the same time, certain assumptions have been made. This thesis will raise questions concerning these assumptions. It will begin by looking at accounts of the religion by scholars in the field of Irania

Druj Aeterni is a large chamber ensemble piece for flute, clarinet, French horn, two trumpets, piano, two percussionists, string quintet, and electric bass. My composition integrates three intellectual pursuits and interests, ancient mythology, cosmology, and mathematics. The title of the piece uses Latin and the language of the Avesta, the holy book of Zoroastrianism, and comments upon a philosophical perspective based in string theory. I abstract the cosmological implications of string theory, apply them to the terminology and theology of Zoroastrianism, and then structure the composition in
