Moulton analyzes the impact of Zoroastrianism on other religions, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and explores its influence on the development of Western thought.Throughout the book, Moulton provides a wealth of historical and cultural context, drawing on a variety of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological findings, and modern scholarship.
