Baha'i

The youngest of the world religions, Baha'i is also one of the fastest growing, increasing from 200,000 followers worldwide in 1950 to about six million members today. Originally founded in 1863, the religion's essential belief centers around the unity of all religions and the abolition of racial, class, and religious prejudices. This all-new addition to the critically acclaimed World Religions series explores all aspects of Baha'i, from the original teachings of its founder, Baha'ulla, to the modern-day communities that exist in 235 countries and territories throughout the world.
