| Summary, etc. | A sociological study, Bahá'í Lore explores the content and function of unofficial lore in a religious community. Drawing on nearly two thousand oral and written communications received from more than 400 informants and recorded over a 15-year period, David Piff examines hearsays, rumours, anecdotes, interpretations and speculations shared among members of the Bahá'í religion. Piff's annotated appendix of the lore he has compiled includes hearsays concerning: * Bahá'í practices * the catastrophe * the future * the nations of the world as well as * celebrities who are said to be associated with the religion |
