Dispensation of the Bab, The

by Boris Handal

This is a comprehensive overview of the Bab’s teachings, laws, and ordinances. It provides readers with detailed information on the Bab's teachings, along with extensive quotes from the Bab's writings on a wide variety of matters.

“Boris Handal has provided a great service to the many fans of the 19th century messianic figure who appeared in Iran and who is generally known as ‘the Bab.’ While other books about the Bab discuss the history of His life, and largely pass over His theological and legal teachings, this book tackles them head on, and relates them directly to the most important theme in the Bab’s writings, namely, Him Whom God shall make manifest.” - Peter Terry, author of A Prophet in Modern Time
