Do you know of any good, academic books on the subject? I'm going to do a paper on Zoroastrian Apocalyptic theology. I'm very fascinated by the subject, just wondered if anyone had any insight about resources. Thanks.

This page has a very good overview:

And try The Daestan-i Denig.
http://www.sacred-texts.com/zor/sbe24/dd.htm
This was written in the 9th century, but should give some insight on the traditional philosophy.

The Jews inherited many concepts from the Zoroastrians--later the Christians did from the Jews. The Jews took many concepts from ancient Iranians during their exile.

What a great question!
Your best bet would be to go to Google Scholar and do a search--I just did one and pasted the link below.
You will probably need to have access to a university or seminary library to get journals and books that you need.
Would love to read your paper when it's done! Best wishes!!
