The diversity of religions in the Sasanid period is one of the most
important themes in the history of this dynasty. Sasanid emperors
revived and strengthened Zoroastrianism and made it the formal
religion of the country. Therefore, this action affected the adherents of
the other religions who lived in Iran and brought about contacts and
conflicts between the leaders of the state religion and the others.
This article surveys the social conditions of the minority religions
such as Buddhism, Judaism and Christianity in the Sasanid period and
reviews the attitude of the state religion toward them. It also deals with
the challenges and the conflicts which the adherents of the minority
religions made against the Sasanid government. Beside that, it reviews
the religious policies of the government and finally comes to this
conclusion: The religious policies of the Sasanid emperors intensified
or sometimes weakened these conflicts. However, these policies in
their own turn were taken under the influence of the internal and
external forces. The elements which affected the attitude of the Sasanid
government toward minority religions were as fallow: The
transformation of the international conditions, converting of the states –
especially the enemies– into other religions, the power or weakness of
the priests and kings, and the activities of the minorities.
