Synopsis

Bahaism and Its Claims is a careful, scholarly study of the religion founded by Baha Ullah and Abdul Baha. It examines Bahaism’s beliefs, practices, and history, and places them in the context of Islam, Persian society, and modern religious movements. The book aims to present a balanced view by quoting directly from primary writings and from Bahai authorities, while also offering critical analysis.

This edition explores how Bahaism presents itself as a universal religion and the claims its leaders make. It looks at the social and moral implications of Bahai law, including the treatment of women, marriage and divorce, and the organization of the faith. It also considers political and cultural aspects, such as the movement’s stance toward authority, tradition, and interfaith relations. The author grounds his discussion in historical sources and eyewitness accounts, and discusses the spread of Bahaism to the West and its reception in other regions.

What you’ll experience
- A structured overview of Bahaism’s origins, leaders, and key teachings
- An analysis of social and gender issues within the faith, including marriage, divorce, and family life
- A look at political and cultural dimensions, and how the movement relates to broader religious currents
- Direct quotations and summaries from primary sources to support the study

Ideal for readers of religious history, theology, and comparative religion who want a clear, evidence-based evaluation of Bahaism and its claims.
