It was approx. 145 pages, yet it took me a while to finish this book because the concepts in it were "heavy". The book is a doctoral thesis that describes the religions and philosophy of Persia (present Iran) from the days of Mani and the Zoroaster religion, to dual and single universe natures, to Greek and subsequently Muslim schools of thought. Much of the thinking of Persia reflects other areas and overlaps other religions including Buddhism and Hinduism. There are even elements of the mystical Sufi religion and it's various forms and philosophers discussed. So, while a short read, it is rather thorough in it's chronological discussion of the thinking of the Persian empire.
