Avesta: The Religious Books of the Parsees is a comprehensive study of the religious texts of the Parsees, a community that follows the ancient Zoroastrian religion. Written by Arthur Henry Bleeck, a renowned scholar of ancient religions, the book provides a detailed analysis of the Avesta, the primary scripture of the Zoroastrian faith. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a specific aspect of the Avesta, including its history, language, and contents. Bleeck also explores the religious beliefs and practices of the Parsees, and how they have evolved over time. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of religion, history, and culture, as well as anyone interested in learning more about the Zoroastrian faith and its influence on world religions.1864.
