Indo-European culture and religion gave birth both to the Vedic religion in India and the Avestan religion in Iran, says Ara (Persian language, San Francisco State U. and modern languages and literatures and Asian religions, California State U.-East Bay), and even after the two diverged, they have interacted and influenced each other through the millennia to the present. She begins her study looking at concepts of death and the afterlife that they share. Then she focuses on Vedic Indians, discussing such topics as cosmogony, the ethical world, and the world beyond. The final section considers in turn Zoroastrian Iranians from the perspective of good and evil and last things and apocalypse. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
