Book Description
This is the first collection of scholarly essays on the history of the Bahá'í Faith to be published as a book. Included are the works of five scholars who have conducted original research on specific aspects of the Bábí and Bahá'í religions.Two essays are concerned with Bahá'í history in Iran. Denis MacEoin's provocative paper traces the first years of interaction and conflict between the Shaykhí School and the emerging Bábí Movement. Moojan Momen provides a fascinating account of the relations of Christian missionaries in Iran with Bábís and Bahá'ís. The three remaining essays discuss American Bahá'í history. Peter Smith's comprehensive survey of the American community from 1894 to 1917 adds substantially to our knowledge of that period. William Collins offers an in-depth study of the Bahá'ís of Kenosha, Wisconsin, where one of the first Bahá'í communities was established. Finally, Loni Bramson-Lerche examines the development of Bahá'í administrative procedures from 1922 to 1936.This is the first volume in the Studies Series and remains a classic work of Bahá'í history. It is a basic text for any study of the history of the Bahá'í Faith.Comments about the series include: "The series demonstrates both that a critical mass of young scholars interested in these movements have formed & that the Baha'i community in the U.S. can now support academic books on the religion."--(British Society for Middle Eastern Studies Bulletin). "...much more work needs to be done on Baha'i history in Iran...that process is now underway & this collection carries it further."--(Middle East Journal). "There is...a mass of information here that could be used in more comparative or theoretically-oriented studies ..."--(Iranian Studies). "... a fascinating volume which offers much new information on the development of a modern faith."--(Religious Studies Review). "This volume is well worth reading by anyone seriously interested in religion in modern Iran."--(British Society for Middle Eastern Studies Bulletin).

Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
This volume examines the life of the remarkable woman, Susan Moody, and her travels to Iran in the early 20th century during seismic changes in the world. Dr. Susan I. Moody’s Travels to Iran 1909-1934: Courageous Odyssey captures a fleeting moment of arresting change and shimmering possibility. Exploring the fading values of the 19th century and the emergent understandings of the 20th century, the author shows how one individual navigated such challenging times. This book explores the Industrial Revolution, the rise of the women’s movement, advances in medicine and healthcare, and the start of a new religion – The Baha’i Faith – of which Moody became a devoted member. Susan Moody was a pathbreaking artist and educator who became a physician later in life. She made the bold decision to leave the United States and travel to Iran in 1909 to serve women who effectively had no access to medical care. In examining Dr. Susan Moody’s story, this volume seeks to reflect on our own changing moment and the ever-present possibilities of improvement and advancement. By tracing her own courageous odyssey, we are invited to more deeply understand our own. This book will be of value to students and scholars alike interested in Women’s and Gender history and Social and Cultural history.
