No big deal but Fluss der Wahrheit is "River of Truth" in German not "River of Life." The latter would be "Fluss des Lebens."

The George Ronald editors told me they want to make it an annual publication or es. And I might as well mention for our German speakers that the Bahai Verlag have published a new book in their Bahai Studies series. I have mangled the German through altavista. Anybody know Babak Farrokhzad? Babak Farrokhzad describes traditional Islamic and Christian end time expectations and shows, how Bahá'u'lláh in Kitáb i Íqán these promises again interpreted and the paradigm of "progressive revealing" and the "unit of all religions" announces as answer to the delivered presenting lungs of the end time. This work wants the most important purchases to the Bahá'í readers out Kitáb i Íqán to the Christianity and Islam to point and to it contribute to develop their dialogue authority further. All different one it wants the entrance to this central book of the Bahá'ítums to facilitate and for them by the comparative treatment more like a Christian, Islamic and for Bahá'í Apologetik plastic to arrange that it concerns with the Bahá'ítum a universal religion, it itself with the same truth proofs legitimized as their predecessor religions. Babak Farrokhzad beschreibt traditionelle islamische und christliche Endzeiterwartungen und zeigt, wie Bahá’u’lláh im Kitáb-i-Íqán diese Verheißungen neu interpretiert und das Paradigma der „fortschreitenden Offenbarung „ und der „Einheit aller Religionen“ als Antwort auf die überlieferten Vorstelllungen von der Endzeit verkündet. Den Bahá’í-Lesern will diese Arbeit die wichtigsten Bezüge des Kitáb-i-Íqán zum Christentum und Islam aufzeigen und dazu beitragen, ihre Dialogkompetenz weiter auszubauen. Allen anderen will sie den Zugang zu diesem zentralen Buch des Bahá’ítums erleichtern und ihnen durch die vergleichende Behandlung christlicher, islamischer und Bahá’í-Apologetik plastisch vermitteln, dass es sich beim Bahá’ítum um eine Universalreligion handelt, sie sich mit denselben Wahrheitsbeweisen legitimiert wie ihre Vorgängerreligionen .
