註釋The Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world's independent religions and the second most widespread after Christianity. Dating from its Iranian origins in 1844, it has rapidly spread to every country of the world and counts more than five million adherents. The central teaching of Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, is that it is imperative for humanity to recognize that it is a single race so that it can act in unity as one global community to meet the challenges of the present day. The Bahá'í scriptures provide a wide-ranging social program designed for people living today coupled with spiritual principles that echo those found in the great faith traditions of the past. Understanding the Bahá'í Faith focuses on the impact that the religion has, looking at what it has to say about personal life, the home, the community, social issues, global concerns, as well as the spiritual life. This book provides a factual and straightforward account of the history, organization, development and sacred texts of the religion, as well as a time-line of important events and a glossary. It is suitable for general audiences, students of comparative religion and teachers.
