Dimensions of Baha'i Law

Dimensions of Baha'i Law

Roshan Danesh has devoted his career to the study of law and religion with a particular focus on the Bahaâ€™i Faith and its central legal text, the Kitab-i-Aqdas. In this collection of essaysâ€”previously published in a variety of academic journals, including the prestigious Journal of Law and Religionâ€”Danesh invites the reader into an exploration of largely unchartered waters. As he states in the introduction to this collection, â€œunderstanding Bahaâ€™i law challenges us to question, and ultimately abandon, our taken-for-granted ways of thinking, talking about, and using law.â€ Organized around four distinct areasâ€”Bahaâ€™uâ€™llahâ€™s conception of law itself, the constitutional dimensions of the Bahaâ€™i Faith, Bahaâ€™uâ€™llahâ€™s theory of social change and the role of law in social change, and existing scholarship and discourse concerning Bahaâ€™i lawâ€”the essays collected here are expansive and illuminating, and they provide an invaluable contribution to discourse on the subject.
