Excerpt from a book on Zarathustra's influence on major world
religions
November 26, 2004

I've been raving about this book here and there for
a long time. I finally finished it last night. It took me almost
three months to read Paul Kriwaczek's In
Search of Zarathustra: Across Iran and Central Asia to Find the
World's First Prophet (Vintage, 2002), even though it's
only 230 pages. My bathroom (the only place I read when I'm not
in front of the computer) breaks became longer and longer as I
became more and more intrigued by this wonderful book. Very little
is known about Zarathustra himself, but Kriwaczek follows clues
from China to Europe to find traces of the "first" prophet
in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It's a personal journey into
the history of religion and I enjoyed every step. -- Jahanshah
