Synopsis

There is only a very meager literature on the subject about to be discussed. An attempt will be made to give an outline picture of Zoroastrianism, and then of Judaism when it came to be somewhat a fixed system in the post-exilic times. This will enable us to make the further attempt to give the leading religious, social,and moral conceptions in Zoroastrianism and Judaism, and to indicate under each heading something of the probable influence, or relation, of one system on the other. Throughout the whole discussion, the main sources of information will be the ancient literatures of the two religions. They will be referred to, or quoted, freely, in order that authority may be given for all facts stated. It must be understood that no attempt will be made to interpret the exalted teachings of theO ld Testament, as they are unfolded and revealed in the light of theN ew Testament. The author has firm convictions regarding the authority of the canonical Old Testament Scriptures. This treatise deals with thoseS criptures in a period of time when they were incomplete and when those that were written were available only to a few. G. W. C.
