(Samuel Graham) 15024507 Bahaism and Its Claims A Study of the Religion Promulgated by Baha Ullah and Abdul Baha Produced by David Edwards, Matthew Wheaton and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Bahaism and Its Claims" by Samuel Graham Wilson is a critical examination of the Bahá'í faith, likely written in the early 20th century. As a study of the religious movements founded by Baha Ullah and Abdul Baha, the work aims to explore the philosophy, history, and claims of this evolving belief system that seeks to redefine religious understanding, particularly in relation to established religions like Christianity and Islam. The author critiques Bahaism's assertions of universality and its self-portrayal as a continuation of former religions, aiming to clarify the extent of its divergence from traditional beliefs. At the start of the text, the author provides an overview of Bahaism's origins and its relationship to Islam, particularly Shiahism. He presents a historical sketch of the Bahá'í movement, detailing its roots in the Babi faith and the tumultuous events surrounding its founders' lives. Wilson discusses various claims made by Bahá'ís, including their assertion of being a new, universal religion and their views on the unification of mankind. The introduction establishes not only the doctrines and teachings of Bahaism but also the controversy surrounding its origins and its implications for traditional religious teachings, setting the stage for in-depth analyses that follow in subsequent chapters.
