Eminent orientalist and Professor of Arabic at Cambridge University, Edward Granville Browne's, encounter with the rising Bahá'í Faith (circa 1900).

As a young man, Edward Granville Browne, investigate the history and doctrine of the Bahá'í Faith. Unfortunately, through various causes which Mr Balyuzi explores, Professor Browne did not rightly judge all that he observed. Mr Balyuzi confronts this problem directly and, with scholarship and first-hand knowledge, addresses himself to each of Browne’s writings on the subject. The result is a book of enduring importance and interest, which is essential to all who seek authentic sources for the study of the Bahá’í Faith.
