Choksy, titled <em>\u201c<\/em>Forgiveness is Goodness: Mercy as an Enduring Virtue in Zoroastrianism<em>\u201d<\/em>, has been published in Acta Orientalia Hungarica (Volume 77, Issue 4, 2024, pp. 541\u2013556). Edited by G\u00e1bor Kosa, this article traces the concept of forgiveness and related displays of mercy as enjoined by Zoroastrian scrip\u00adture and exegesis and as displayed through the writings and actions of rulers and clerics. It connects those Zoroastrian themes to similar ones among ancient Greeks and medieval Manichaeans. Forgiveness emerges through this investigation as a central aspect of Zoroastrian piety and praxis, which the faith\u2019s followers attributed back to Ahura Mazd\u0101 in his ascribed role as their creator deity. Therefore, as this analysis eluci\u00addates, Zoroastrians consistently held, exercised, and extolled forgiveness and mercy from ancient through medieval and even modern times, in their communities of Central Asia, Iran, and the Indian subcontinent.<\/p><p>To download the article, please visit the following link:<\/p><div style=\"color: blue;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/akjournals.com\/view\/journals\/062\/77\/4\/article-p541.xml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/akjournals.com\/view\/journals\/062\/77\/4\/article-p541.xml<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"sws_supernormalaction\"><button on=\"tap:superwebshare-lightbox\" class=\"superwebshare_normal_button1 superwebshare-button-lg superwebshare-button-default superwebshare_prompt superwebshare_button_svg\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color: #BD3854;\" ><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"superwebshare-svg\"  fill=\"currentColor\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"0\"><path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M789.86,323.67c91.79,0,164.25-72.46,164.25-164.25S881.64,0,789.86,0S625.6,72.46,625.6,164.25c0,4.83,0,14.49,0,24.15L306.76,371.98c-24.15-24.15-57.97-33.82-96.62-33.82c-91.79,0-164.25,72.46-164.25,164.25s72.46,164.25,164.25,164.25c38.65,0,72.46-14.49,96.62-33.82L625.6,821.26c0,9.66,0,14.49,0,19.32c0,86.96,72.46,159.42,159.42,159.42s159.42-72.46,159.42-159.42s-67.63-159.42-154.59-159.42c-33.82,0-67.63,9.66-96.62,33.82L374.4,526.57c0-9.66,0-19.32,0-24.15s0-14.49,0-24.15l318.84-188.41C717.39,314.01,751.21,323.67,789.86,323.67z\" \/><\/svg><span>Share<\/span><\/button><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new article by Jamsheed K.
