The Zend-Avesta And Eastern Religions Comparative Legislations, Doctrines And Rites of Parseeism, Brahmanism And Buddhism: Bearing Upon Bible Talmud, Gospel, Koran their Messiah-Ideals and Social Problems

Maurice Fluegel’s The Zend‑Avesta and Eastern Religions (1898) is a comprehensive comparative study of Parseeism, Brahmanism, and Buddhism. It examines their legislation, doctrines, and ritual practices alongside Judeo‑Christian and Islamic texts—the Bible, Talmud, Gospel, and Koran—highlighting similarities and differences in messianic ideals and social issues. Through detailed analysis, Fluegel traces shared ethical frameworks, eschatological beliefs, and moral laws across these traditions, offering insight into cross-cultural religious thought. The work underscores both unique and convergent elements in Eastern and Western faiths, making it a valuable resource for scholars of comparative religion.
