No se puede exagerar la importancia de esto. Zaratustra pudo haber sido el primer monoteísta de la historia registrada. Zaehner señala, “El gran logro del Profeta iraní [fue] que eliminó a todos los dioses antiguos del panteón iraní, dejando solo a Ahura Mazdah, el 'Señor Sabio', como el Único Dios Verdadero”. <ref> Zaehner, "Zoroastrismo", pág. 210. </ref> | |||
Some scholars assert that Zarathustra was not a strict monotheist but a henotheist, that is, one who worships one God but does not deny the existence of others. This is a technical distinction. As David Bradley, author of ''A Guide to the World’s Religions'', notes, “[Zarathustra] was a practicing monotheist in the same way that Moses was.”<ref>David G. Bradley, ''A Guide to the World’s Religions'' (Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice-Hall, 1963), p. 40.</ref> Bradley thinks that Moses knew of the existence of lesser gods but insisted on the necessity of siding with the true God against all other gods.<ref>Ibid.</ref> | Some scholars assert that Zarathustra was not a strict monotheist but a henotheist, that is, one who worships one God but does not deny the existence of others.
