Samuel Laing (1812-97) was a British railway administrator, politician, and writer on science and religion during the Victorian era. After graduating from St John's College, Cambridge in 1827 he was elected a fellow and remained as a coach before being called to the bar in 1837. After serving as private secretary to the President of the Board of Trade in 1842 he was made secretary to the railway department, retaining the post until 1847 by which time he had become an authority on railways, and in 1848 was appointed chairman and managing director of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway. He first entered Parliament in 1852, and over the following years served in various roles, including Financial Secretary to the Treasury and finance minister in India, before returning to positions within the railways. In later life he became well known as an author on scientific subjects, showing a positive attitude towards new developments in science and offering an optimistic vision of progressive modernity. He also wrote on religion and in A Modern Zoroastrian (1888) he argued that the ancient religion of Zoroastrianism was more consistent with modern scientific thought than was traditional Christianity. Reprinted from the edition of 1893 which includes several diagrams.

"Boyce is a, perhaps the, world authority on Zoroastrianism. . . . Prefaced by a 27-page introduction, this anthology contains selections which offer a complete picture of Zoroastrian belief, worship and practice. There are historical texts from the sixth century B.C. onwards, and extracts from modern Zoroastrian writings representing traditionalism, occultism and reformist opinion. Anyone wishing to know more about this 'least well known of the world religions' should sample these selections."—The Methodist Church "Wide-ranging. . . . An indispensable one-volume collection of primary materials."—William R. Darrow, Religious Studies Review

Pious Citizens written by Monica M. Ringer and has been published by Syracuse University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2011-12-13 with Religion categories.
In Pious Citizens, Ringer tells the story of a major intellectual revolution in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century India and Iran, one that radically transformed the role of religion in society. At this time, key theological debates revolved around Zoroastrianism’s capacity to generate “progress” and “civilization.” Armed with both the destructive and creative capacities of historicism, reformers reevaluated their own religious tradition, molding Zoroastrian belief and practice according to contemporary ideas of rational religion and its potential to create pious citizens. Ringer demonstrates how rational and enlightened religion, characterized by social responsibility and the interiorization of piety, was understood as essential for the development of modern individuals, citizens, new public space, national identity, and secularism. She argues persuasively that reformers believed not only that social reform must be accompanied by religious reform but that it was in fact a product of religious reform. Pious Citizens offers new insights into the theological premises behind the promotion of secularism, the privatization of religion, and the development of new national identities. Ringer’s work also explores growing connections between the Iranian and Indian Zoroastrian communities and the revival of the ancient Persian past.
