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.
