This is an excellent introduction to the history, teachings, administrative structure and the community of the Bahai Faith, the youngest and one of the fastest growing of the world’s independent religions. The authors trace the religion’s growth from its obscure beginnings in Iran during the nineteenth century to the present day. It has spread to virtually every part of the world, has established its administrative institutions in over 200 nations and territories and embraces believers from virtually every cultural, racial, social, and religious background. Students of comparative religions will find this an invaluable means for understanding the way in which a religion comes from being, evolves, and establishes itself.
