The Brilliant Proof

In 1911, during Abdu’l-Baha’s first visit to Britain, he was invited into churches and welcomed warmly by many Christian clergymen. This outraged more conservative Christian ministers, and an attack on the Baha’i Faith and its Central Figures was published in the journal Evangelical Christendom. When the article was shown to Mirza Abu’l-Fadl, the great Baha’i scholar immediately penned a reply. Abdu’l-Baha titled it The Brilliant Proof.

Here, for the first time since its early printing, is Abu’l-Fadl’s response, along with the original essay which sparked the controversy and a new foreword that provides historical context.
