Παρουσίαση
Tracing the rise and development of the second most widespread religion in the world, this is a succinct but comprehensive study of the history of the Baha'i Faith.Dr Smith, a well-known writer in the field, deftly explores the religion from its origins in mid-nineteenth century Iran to the spiritual and social concerns of the present day. His account features coverage of:
- the Babi movement from which the Baha'i Faith grew
- the life and teachings of the prophet-founder of the Baha'i Faith, Baha'u'llah, and his successors
- the global expansion of the faith
- the organization of the Baha'i community today.
Combining concise and skilful writing with illustrations of key people, places and events, this is a thorough historical survey of a religion that now has an estimated six million adherents. (From the publisher)
