Early Zoroastrianism and Orality

Focusing on the oral transmission of early Zoroastrianism, this work by Philip G. Kreyenbroek challenges existing academic theories by examining the unique aspects of oral traditions. Drawing from extensive study and empirical research on modern Iranian religious groups, Kreyenbroek analyzes Avestan texts to reveal their historical context and the influence of oral practices. By integrating recent scholarly discoveries, he presents new insights into the genesis and early development of the Zoroastrian tradition, shedding light on its rich heritage.
