Baha'is in Exile - Paperback

Author Vernon Elvin Johnson considers Baha'is in Exile a sequel to his doctoral dissertation. In this book, Johnson seeks to continue the history he briefly covered in the last chapter of his dissertation. Baha'is are followers of Baha'u'llah, the main founder of the Baha'i religion. The Baha'is mentioned in this book have been rejected, cast out, or exiled from the faith by the majority - or mainstream - body of Baha'is, creating what some consider divisions in the Baha'i faith.
