Review
A fascinating volume which offers much new information ont he development of a modern faith . . . (Religious Studies Review)
. . . a valuable contribution to scholarhip on the Bahai Faith. -- Australian Bahai Bulletin
From the Inside Flap
This is the first collection of scholarly essays on the history of the Bahai Faith ever to be published as a book. Included are the works of five scholars who have conducted original research on specific aspects of the Babi and Bahai religions.
Two essays are concerned with Bahai history in Iran. Denis MacEoins provocative paper traces the first years of interaction and conflict between the Shaykhi School and the emerging Babi Movement. Moojan Momen provides a fascinating account of the relations of Christian missionaries in Iran with Babis and Bahais.
The three remaining essays discuss American Bahai history. Peter Smiths comprehensive survey of the American community from 1894 to 1917 adds substantially to our knowledge of that period. William Collins offers an in-depth study of the Bahais of Kenosha, Wisconsin, where one of the first Bahai communities was established. Finally, Loni Bramson-Lerche examines the develoment of Bahai administrative procedures from 1922 to 1936.
