Item description from seller

Language: English. About The Book: Parsi, Jaina, and Sikh communities in India each represent unique religious traditions. Parsis are followers of Zoroastrianism, a faith originating in Persia, with core beliefs centered around the worship of Ahura Mazda and the practice of good deeds. Jainism, founded by Mahavira, is a religion that prioritizes non-violence (ahimsa), truth, and asceticism, with a focus on spiritual purity. Sikhism, established by Guru Nanak in the 15th century, emphasizes devotion to one God, equality of all people, selfless service, and living an honest and righteous life. Though smaller in number, these communities have greatly enriched India's cultural, social, and economic landscapes, embodying values of peace, compassion, and spirituality. About The Author: Douglas M. Thornton (1873–1907) was an influential English Christian missionary in Cairo, Egypt, with the Church Missionary Society from 1898 until his death in 1907. Educated at Cambridge University, he was actively involved in Christian ministry, contributing significantly to missionary efforts. Thornton edited a new edition of the Arabic Prayer-Book and founded the magazine Orient and Occident, which aimed to bridge Eastern and Western cultures. He also wrote Africa Waiting, addressing the challenges of evangelizing Africa. Despite his early death from typhoid fever, Thornton’s literary and missionary work left a lasting impact on Christian outreach in Egypt and beyond.
