Zoroastrianism, one of the oldest religious traditions, was founded by the prophet Zoroaster in ancient Persia around the 6th century BC. The name may seem unfamiliar, but those who love Nietzsche’s works will know that this is the protagonist of “Also Sprach Zarathustra.” I have a chance to visit its ancient temple in Azerbaijan during the trip to join COP29. Central to Zoroastrianism is free will and respect for the natural creation, encouraging followers to choose good over evil in a world of moral challenges. This belief system has some similarities with Christianity. As a Christian, I find inspiration in it for a godly management of the natural world. “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill and subdue the earth. Rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and every living creature that moves on the ground. – Genesis 1:28.” The Lord’s creation is described as “good.” He encourages us to appreciate and protect it. Our interpretations of nature may often be flawed, clouded by our fear and imagination. Zoroastrianism reminds me that awe and respect for the natural world stem from a divine source. This appreciation for nature is a reflection of the Lord’s presence in our lives, urging us to see the beauty and sanctity of His creation. Its advocates resonate with the Christian call to stewardship, reminding us that we are caretakers of the earth.
