Bahaism And Its Claims; A Study Of The Religion Promulgated By Baha Utlah And Abdul Baha

By Samuel Graham Wilson and Wilson Samuel Graham

Book Overview

A calm, searching voice enters a vibrant conversation across centuries. Bahaism And Its Claims invites readers to trace the origins of the Bahai faith through careful evidence and balanced reflection. Samuel Graham Wilson's study stands as a concise, persuasive work in scholarly religious history, blending historical theology analysis with accessible prose. The book surveys the religion promulagated by Baha Utlah and Abdul Baha, examining revelation and religious authority while situating Bahai scriptures and beliefs within a broader nineteenth century Persian and early modern Middle East context. For academic readership and religious studies students alike, it offers a solid, non-journalistic foundation that supports deeper inquiry into prophetic claims, doctrinal development, and the movement's place in encyclopedic religious history. This volume is more than a historical account; it is a careful, humane examination suitable for casual readers and classic-literature collectors who value rigor paired with reverence. The argument is clear, well-structured, and richly contextualized, inviting readers to weigh ideas, amid shifting cultural landscapes, with fairness and intellectual curiosity. Its restoration by Alpha Editions breathes new life into a text long out of print. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, restored for today's and future generations, more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This is the kind of scholarly religious history that enriches the classroom and the home library alike.
