Gate of the Heartby Nader Saiedi
Wilfrid Laurier University Press 2008; US$ 85.00Co-published with the Association for Bah?8217;?tudies In 1844 a charismatic young Persian merchant from Shiraz, known as the B? electrified the Sh?8217;ih world by claiming to be the return of the Hidden Twelfth Imam of Islamic prophecy.

Gate of the Heart offers the first in-depth introduction to the writings of the B? Taking an interdisciplinary approach,... more...
