Comparative Religion
"Comparative Religion" by Joseph Estlin Carpenter is a seminal text in the field. Carpenter goes into surprisingly profound detail in his comparisons and commentary on religion, despite the relatively short length of the book. This book is just as insightful now as it was when it was written and is a must-read for anyone interested in theology and the roles religion has played in the world.

The Reception of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in Britain
In exploring ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s visits to Britain, Brendan McNamara expands the jigsaw of our knowledge of how “the east came west”. More importantly, by exploring the visits through the motives of those that received him, The Reception of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in Britain: East Comes West demonstrates that the “cultic milieu” thesis is incomplete. Focusing on a number of well-known Edwardian Protestant reformers, the book demonstrates that the arrival of eastern forms of religions in Britain penetrated more mainstream Christian forms. This process is set within significant developments in the early formation of the study of religions, the rise of science and orientalism. All these elements are shown to be linked together. Significantly the work argues that the advent of World War One changed the direction of new forms of religion leading to a ‘forgetfulness’ that has lasted until the present time.
