‘Ottoman Reform Movements and the Bahā'ī Faith, 1860s – 1920s’, in Studies in Modern Religions, Religious Movements and the Bābī-Bahā'ī Faiths, Edited by Moshe Sharon, Brill 2004, pp. 253-274.
ABSTRACT:
This paper examines the relationship between the Young Ottoman and Young Turk reform movements and the Bahā’īs that was established probably from the time of Bahā’u’llāh’s exile in Istanbul and Edirne and certainly from 1868 with Bahā’u’llāh’s banishment to Palestine. The emphasis of this article is not the convergence of ideas but the nature of the contacts and the impressions of the Young Ottomans and Young Turks of the Bābīs and Bahā’īs.
