| Formatted contents note | Here is a brief, yet remarkably thorough, treatment of the Baha'i religion. Beckwith first presents a historical review, noting the most important events crucial in the formative years of this movement. Secondly, he examines the main doctrines of Baha'i in the light of Scripture, along with the Baha'is' use of the Bible in defense of their religion. In addition, he asks several important questions concerning the relationship between Christianity and Baha'ism: Can the teachings of Jesus be placed into the Baha'i structure without damage to their original intent? Is their use of the Bible legitimate, compelling or successful? Apart from personal assurance, does the Baha'i religion have objective evidence upon which to rest its beliefs? "This is a remarkably incisive work. Mr. Beckwith's research will force any honest member of the Baha'i movement to take a very serious 'second look' at what he has been taught." |
| 520 3# - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | Christian polemic against the Bahá'í Faith. The author claims that Bahá'í institutions have attempted to "cover up" the alleged non-fulfillment of a prophecy of `Abdu'l-Bahá's by making changesto the text of Esslemont's Bahá'u'lláh and the New Era. |
