The Kitb-i-Aqdas is considered the most important and sacred text of the Bah Faith, a religion with some eight million adherents, found in nearly every country of the world. It sets out the laws, teachings, and institutions that shape and influence individual and collective life for members of the Bah community. Despite the Kitb-i-Aqdass significance, it has not been extensively researched. Exploring the Kitb-i-Aqdas: The Laws and Teachings of the Bah Faith now offers a comprehensive academic study of the text. This important new publication explores and analyzes the significance and history of the Kitb-i-Aqdas; its language, style, and translation; and its theological and spiritual foundations, including its conceptions of God, religion, and human beings. The book, moreover, examines the Kitb-i-Aqdass provisions for succession, interpretation, and administration within the Bah religion; its devotional and other personal laws; its ordinances for promoting unity; its perspectives on justice and law; and its addresses to the worlds political and religious leaders. Academically rigorous yet eminently clear and accessible, Exploring the Kitb-i-Aqdas is an essential read for students of religion and Middle East studies.
