A Concise Encyclopedia of the Baha'i Faith by Peter Smith

A Concise Encyclopedia of the Baha'i Faith by Peter Smith

Written by a well-known author in the field of Baha'i studies, this is a comprehensive and accessible encyclopedia to the youngest of the world religions. Regarded as the second most widespread faith after Christianity, with adherents in almost every country around the globe, the Baha'i faith is nevertheless unfamiliar to many. here Dr Smith traces the origins and development of the religion from 19th century Iran to the modern day, introducing its central figures and major historical events. combining breadth with a readable yet concise style, he provides a balanced overview of Baha'i scriptures, doctrines and practices, social teachings and organization. This reference work presents a clear and knowledgeable view of a fascinating new religion.

Peter Smith is the Social Sciences Co- ordinator at Mahido University International College in Thailand, where he teaches world history, sociology and anthropology. He is the author of several books in the field of Baha'i Studies, including 'The Babi and Bahai'I Religions' ( Cambridge University press) and 'The Baha'I Faith: A Short History ( Oneworld).
