| Summary, etc. | This dissertation aims to contribute to scholarship by focusing on two topics that are largely unstudied to date: Bahá’í politics and Bahá’í law. In particular, an attempt is made to articulate some of the central motifs of Bahá’í political thought, as a foundation for analyzing Bahá’í constitutional ideas and practices concerning the relationship between church and state, and law, politics, and religion more generally. This particular focus has been motivated by three main considerations: first, the timeliness of studying Bahá’í law and its place within the Bahá’í community; second, the abysmal state of the secondary literature concerning the legal and political dimensions of the Bahá’í faith; and third, the need to explore how new religious voices might contribute to the on-going and intense debates about law, politics, and religion in the contemporary world, and the United States in particular. |
