The Daeva Cult in the Gathas: An Ideological Archaeology of Zoroastrianism - Iranian Studies
Amir Ahmadi
Addressing the question of the origins of the Zoroastrian religion, this book argues that the intransigent opposition to the cult of the daevas, the ancient Indo-Iranian gods, is the root of the development of the two central doctrines of Zoroastrianism: cosmic dualism and eschatology (fate of the soul after death and its passage to the other world).
