A theological study concerned with the doctrinal beliefs of the practicing Zoroastrians examined within the frames of the Gathic principals (the revealed part of the Scriptures). Variances in the current practice are also considered. The doctrinal changes are explained in the light of socio-political forces operating in each distinct historical era from remote Antiquity up to our days.
