"Zarathustra was thus the first to teach the Doctrines of an individual Judgment, Heaven and Hell, the future Resurrection of the Body, the general Last Judgement, and Life everlasting for the reunited Soul and Body.These Doctrines were to become familiar Articles of Faith to much of Mankind, through borrowings by Judaism, Christianity and Islam; yet it is in Zoroastrianism itself that they have their fullest logical Coherence..."
-Mary Boyce, Op. Cit. p. 29
How do they relate? Well, Zoroastrianism had a huge impact on the developments of Christianity.
In fact, Jesus was very much so a Savior (Saoshyant), in the Zoroastrian sense.
What are Saoshyants? Saoshyant is a Gathic Avestan Term for someone who will bring progress to mankind.
