Description
The youngest of the world religions, the Baha'i Faith is also one of the fastest growing, having increased from 200,000 followers worldwide in 1950 to more than six million members today. Originally founded in 1863, this religion's essential belief centers around the unity of all religions and the abolition of racial, class, and religious prejudices. This volume explores all aspects of the Baha'i Faith, from the original teachings of its founder, Baha'u'llah, to the modern-day communities that exist in 235 countries and territories throughout the world. All material in this volume has been updated to reflect the most current information. Coverage includes: "al-Kitab al-Aqdas" (The Most Holy Book of Baha'u'llah); the roots and spread of the Baha'i Faith; beliefs and teachings; worship and rites of passage; the future of the Baha'i Faith.
