An in-depth exploration of the historical and religious background and context of the Kitab-i-Iqan, the Book of Certitude. Dr. Kourosh has compiled a wide range of useful contextual information that identifies more obscure theological, philosophical, and religious terms. He shows the connections to other religious texts and sacred scriptures, and provides more information about references to historical events. Dr. Kourosh also deciphers the references to other Writings of Baha’u’llah, as well as Writings of the Báb, ‘Abdú’l-Bahá, and Shoghi Effendi, which will help illuminate complex passages.

Review This Product
This issue of the Journal of Bahá’í Studies is the fruit of collaboration between nine authors, writing on the topic of constructive resilience. The development of this issue has been an experiment in collaborative processes of scholarship, and it stands as one early milestone in learning about this kind of collaboration. The experience of African Americans and African-descended people more broadly is explored from a range of vantage points while other essays in this issue use different lenses to consider the power and implications of constructive resilience. Together, the essays present a stylistic continuum, from traditionally academic to personal and introspective.

Review This Product
Prepared by the Research Department, this compilation about the Universal House of Justice comprises extracts from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, the Writings and Utterances of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, and the writings and letters of Shoghi Effendi. Also included are excerpts from the Constitution of the Universal House of Justice as well as from the messages of the House of Justice and letters written on its behalf. The extracts compiled here touch on subjects such as the establishment of the House of Justice, its relationship to the institution of the Guardianship, its infallibility and authority, and its functions and responsibilities.
It is particularly befitting that the release of this compilation comes shortly before the one hundredth anniversary of the Ascension of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and of the inauguration of the Administrative Order.

Humanity stands at a critical crossroads. Social, political, religious, economic, and environmental systems are unraveling with bewildering rapidity all around us. The Alchemy of Peace offers the gift of hope and a viable path out of the current chaos. It identifies a set of dysfunctional habits borne of false assumptions and limiting beliefs. It posits that replacing these mindsets and habits with more constructive and empowering ones will open our eyes to new opportunities growing out of the ferment of our troubled times.

This book concludes Earl Redman’s trilogy about ‘Abdu’l-Bahá as seen through the eyes of the pilgrims and other visitors to ‘Akká and Haifa and those who met Him in Europe and America. While Volume 1 of Visiting ‘Abdu’l-Bahá covered the years from 1897 to 1911, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s travels between 1910 and 1913 are described in ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in Their Midst. This volume begins with the Master’s return to Haifa in 1913 and ends with His passing in 1921.

Review This Product
Some of the most significant obstacles to human well-being today are habits of Western thought that have been exported around the world. These habits include dichotomous conceptions of truth and relativity, cynical conceptions of knowledge and power, and conflictual conceptions of science and religion. Michael Karlberg articulates a framework for reconciling each of these false dichotomies in a critically informed and constructive manner. He does this, in philosophical terms, by reconciling ontological foundationalism and epistemological relativism within a moderate social constructionist framework. Karlberg's timely and accessible argument is offered with a spirit of humility and open-mindedness, inviting dialogue characterized by the same spirit, born out of genuine concern for the betterment of humanity at this critical juncture in history.

The Bahá'í Faith is increasingly acknowledged as South Carolina's second-largest religion, part of the social fabric of the state. The earliest mentions of the distinctively interracial, theologically innovative faith community in the state date back to the Civil War. Black, white and indigenous South Carolinians defied racial and religious prejudices to join the religion during the tumultuous civil rights era. From the visit of the first Bahá'í teacher in 1910 to the "Carolinian Pentecost" of the 1970s and beyond, the faith has deep roots in the Palmetto State.

Review This Product
In June of 1920, two gentlemen arrived in the Netherlands to hand deliver a communication from ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, then head of the Bahá’í Faith, to the Executive Committee of the Central Organization for a Durable Peace at The Hague. This book examines the contents of these two Tablets, the historical circumstances that shaped nineteenth-century peace movements, and the catastrophic impact of the First World War. During this time, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá was actively engaged in promoting a clear understanding of the Bahá’í perspective on peace. His example has continuing relevance for the state of the world and the discourse on peace in the twenty-first century.
