Religious change, reformation and revolution is still certainly possible in today's modern world. Babi and Baha'i Religions: From Messianic Shiism to a World Religion, by author Peter Smith, documents just such a revolution which occurred during the development of the Baha'i faith. Beginning with the messianic Babi movement of nineteenth century Iran, and coming all the way through to the present day, the religion has become an established, independent entity, practiced all over the world. The book contains a chronology of major events, a glossary, and a bibliographical guide. Originally published on January 1, 1987, by Cambridge University Press, the book has become a modern classic!
