This book is a collection of five separate studies of the BahÃ¡'Ã­ Faith, Christianity and Islam. Translated from the German, and substantially revised, they deal with many popular misconceptions which arise from the religious and intellectual traditions of the West. â€œAs interest in the Faith grows accompanied by mounting criticism of its Teachings, the need for a book of this type becomes evident. It is a splendid teaching tool and very useful when put in the hands of certain inquirers. BahÃ¡'Ã­s, too, will find the book extremely interesting and profitable. The translation is excellent. â€œFrom the review of the National Spiritual Assembly of the BahÃ¡'Ã­s of the United Kingdom. The library-oriented magazine CHOICE (October 1978) reviewed the book and described it as "an exceptional informative book in Baha'i-thought": "The unique feature of this well-expressed, scholarly presentation is the comparative treatment of the BahÃ¡'Ã­ Faith, Judaism, Christianity and Islam... This sharpens what is understood to be distinctive about the BahÃ¡'Ã­ Faith and demonstrates the author's ability to participate in Interfaith conversation on an impressive level." The review recommended The Light Shineth in Darkness as "a valuable holding for a wide range of libraries". CHOICE put the book on the list of "outstanding academic books". The list singled out 509 outstanding academic books, selected from a total of 6,683 reviews that appeared in volume 15 (CHOICE, May 1979).
