It then became established as part of an imperial Iranian ideology within an Ancient Near Eastern setting, and eventually emerged in variant forms in Iran, Central Asia and India in late antiquity. Zoroastrianism continues as a living faith for an estimated 150,000 adherents in the world today. Most Zoroastrians, if asked the question, 'In a nutshell, what do Zoroastrians believe?' would begin their answer with 'Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds'. Zoroastrianism: A Guide for the Perplexed takes this foundational trifold ethic to form the framework for discussing the ideological complexities and ethical underpinning of the religion; the current discussion concerning text and 'author'; and the practical outworking and historical impact of the religion. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Zoroastrianism|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008124334 650 7 Zoroastrianism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1184829 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 655 4 Electronic resource. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 720 Rose, Jenny. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=384824|zOnline eBook.
