Making the Crooked Straight

This book was written in response to a pseudo-academic monograph on the Bahá’í Faith by an embittered ex-Bahá’í, Francesco Ficicchia, claiming to be the standard work on the Faith and published in Germany under church auspices. For over 15 years the accusations raised in Ficicchia's book largely shaped public and academic perception of the Bahá’í Faith in German-speaking Europe, damaging its reputation with a picture of an authoritarian cadre-dominated cult with totalitarian, fascist goals.

Following the book's publication the Lutheran Church in Germany revised its attitude towards the Faith, which was once again welcomed as an interfaith partner.
