A Critical Analysis of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas

The Kitáb-i-Aqdas, also known in English as the Most Holy Book, is the central book of laws written by Baha’u’llah, the founder of the Baha'i Faith, while he was imprisoned at Akka in 1873. Baha’is consider it to be holy scripture equal in rank to the Torah of the Jews and the Quran of the Muslims. For this publication, I will include direct quotes from the book in red bold and my responses will be in blue italics. I will be reviewing the entire book from start to finish as a way of dealing at length with the issue of dogmatism and absurdity in the very heart of my former religion. Thus I seek to atone for eight years of delusional thoughts and acts I never should have committed myself to.
