Zoroastrianism and Ancient Iranian Religion

A State of Mixture

Christians, Zoroastrians, and Iranian Political Culture in Late Antiquity

by Richard E. Payne

A study of how East Syrian Christians found a place within the Zoroastrian Sasanian empire. Payne challenges the picture of a persecuting state church and shows how Zoroastrian theology made room for religious difference.
