As a young man, Edward Granville Browne, who was to become an eminent orientalist and Professor of Arabic at Cambridge University, encountered this rising Faith and was impelled to investigate its history and doctrine. Unfortunately, through various causes which Mr Balyuzi explores, Professor Browne did not rightly judge all that he observed. Mr Balyuzi confronts this problem directly and, with scholarship and first-hand knowledge, addresses himself to each of Browne's writings on the subject. The result is a book of enduring importance and interest, which is essential to all who seek authentic sources for the study of the Bahá'í Faith. |

A review of the career of the Cambridge orientalist whose major interest was the history of the Bábí and Bahá'í Faiths. Browne was the only westerner to leave a record of his meeting with Bahá'u'lláh. Balyuzi deals with a number of historical controversies with tact and fairness. |
