Miracles and Metaphors

Originally published in 1900, in Cairo, Miracles and Metaphors is now available in English. This is a collection of essays and short commentaries of Mirzá Abu’l-Fadl, celebrated Baha’i historian and author. He takes a Bahá’í approach to old religious controversies: Are the Scriptures to be taken literally? Do miracles occur? What is an angel? Are the stories of the Old Testament to be believed? When first published, it provoked heated controversy among Egyptian intellectuals.

The book is an introduction to academic and theological topics that will inspire your future reading of the Baha’i Writings.
