description: This book is a collection of five separate studies of the Bah' Faith Christianity and Islam. Translated from the German and substantially revised they deal with many popular misconceptions which arise from the religious and intellectual traditions of the West. As interest in the Faith grows accompanied by mounting criticism of its Teachings the need for a book of this type becomes evident. It is a splendid teaching tool and very useful when put in the hands of certain inquirers. Bah's too will find the book extremely interesting and profitable. The translation is excellent. From the review of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bah's of the United Kingdom. The library-oriented magazine CHOICE (October 1978) reviewed the book and described it as an exceptional informative book in Baha'i-thought: The unique feature of this well-expressed scholarly presentation is the comparative treatment of the Bah' Faith Judaism Christianity and Islam... This sharpens what is understood to be distinctive about the Bah' Faith and demonstrates the author's ability to participate in Interfaith conversation on an impressive level. The review recommended The Light Shineth in Darkness as a valuable holding for a wide range of libraries. CHOICE put the book on the list of outstanding academic books. The list singled out 509 outstanding academic books selected from a total of 6683 reviews that appeared in volume 15 (CHOICE May 1979).
