Thief in the Night: Prophecy Fulfilled

What if the greatest detective story ever told was hiding in plain sight in the pages of the Bible? This course follows William Sears' *Thief in the Night* — a detective-story investigation of Biblical prophecy and its fulfillment. Along the way, students encounter the Baha'i Faith: its origins, its central figures, and its claim that the promises of Scripture have already been kept. The course also draws on Shoghi Effendi's 1947 letter to the United Nations for a broad introduction to the Baha'i Faith, and relevant passages from Baha'u'llah's *Kitab-i-Iqan* (Book of Certitude).
