For many years, scholars such as theologists, linguists, and archaeologists have been studying Zoroastrian religion from the beginning. These studies provide us with valuable knowledge of this religion and its believers. However, there are still scholars who are trying to clarify the occasional, not very clear, cornerstones of this religion in different periods. Scholars spoke only on the basis of historical texts as well as the Zoroastrian religious texts not so long ago, so archaeological excavations and research have now come to help the scholars to shed light on this religion over time. One of the most important books in this regard that uses historical and religious texts and archaeological findings is Zoroastrianism: An Introduction written by Jenny Rose. This book was published in 2011 and reprinted in 2012 and 2014 by I.B.Tauris Publisher. Jenny Rose is a researcher of religion, and her research profile is indicative of her extensive research in Iranian religion, and this work is a proof of many years of her work on religion. As the name of the book indicates, it an introduction to Zoroastrianism, so it not comprehensive, and some criticisms were leveled against it.
