Abstract:
The Bahá'í Faith appealed to Zoroastrian messianic motifs, Iranian paradigms of legitimacy, and reforming elements within the Zoroastrian community. This study examines conversions in Yazd from the early 1880s to the beginning of the 20th century.
Notes:
Master's thesis for the Department of Oriental Studies, University of Arizona.
