Produktinformationen "Spirituality in the Land of the Noble"
( left flap) - An informative journey to a diverse and much-misinterpreted culture, this is an authoritative account of Iran's pivotal influence on the development of beliefs, practices and scriptures within all the major religious traditions of the world Tracing everything from the migration of the Jews to Iran in 7BCE to the paths of the Iranian merchants who carried Buddhism along the Silk road to China, this comprehensive account reveals the diverse impact of Persian culture on Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and the Baha'I Faith. Scholar Richard C. Folz probes beneath the surface of world history, uncovering a wealth of Iranisn influences and ideas, from the sacred formulas of the earliest Aryan settlers to the inspired architectural designs emerging from Iran's holiest sites. His survey encompasses the full sweep of Persian history, right up to the modern era, and provides a rounded insight into not only Iranisn identity, but also the way in which religious traditions are shaped and formed. Accompanied by a detailed bibliography, glossary, and chronology, this volume will prove indispensible to students and scholars of the middle East, in addition to being a long overdue tribute to Iran's rich spiritual heritage and diverse future possibilities.
