Excerpt from the Foreword: The publication of this book-a rebuttal of a 450-page monograph on the Baha'i Faith written by an embittered ex-Baha'i named Francesco Ficicchia-has wider implications for the study of the Bah'i Faith than what otherwise might be viewed as a localized scholarly dispute in German-speaking Europe. There are three reasons for this. First, by way of apologia, the reader is led into an instructive exploration of the salient and distinctive features of the sacred teaching and history of the Baha'i Faith, its organization and administration. Beyond its polemical value, Making the Crooked Straight is a serious and useful didactic tool, yielding solid information on Baha'i Faith. Among this book's other merits is its offering of a critical analysis of much of the erroneous information disseminated mainly by Protestant missionary theologians in the West since the turn of the century.
