The author of this book, the late Dastur Dr Maneckji Nusservanji Dhalla, Ph.D., Litt.D. was educated in India and later studied at Columbia University under the late Prof A V W Jackson. He returned to India to be ordained the High Priest of Sind and Baluchistan with his seat at Karachi.

The book is divided into different periods on a linguistic basis commencing with the pre-Gathic period (from earliest times to 1000 B.C.) followed by the Gathic (circa 1000B.C.), Avestan (circa 800 B.C. to 200 A.D.), Pahlavi (3^rd to 9^th century), Periods of Decadence (7^th to 18^th century) and Revival (19^th century onwards.)

This work is an expansion of Dr Dhalla’s earlier book, Zoroastrian Theology from the Earliest Times to the Present Day (1914.)
