Beskrivning
Bahá’í Faith: The Basics provides a thorough and accessible introduction to a fascinating, independent world religion. Examining its historical development, current “community-building” efforts and the social contributions of the Bahá’í Faith in the world today, this introduction covers:Beliefs: Bahá’í spiritual teachings.Principles: Bahá’í social teachings.History: Bahá’u’lláh and his covenant.Scripture: Bahá’í sacred texts and inspired guidance.Progressive Revelation: The Bahá’í Faith among the World’s ReligionsInstitutions: The Bahá’í Administrative Order.Building community: What Bahá’ís do.Social action: Bahá’í social and economic development projects.Public discourse: The Bahá’í International Community.Vision: Foundations for a future golden age.The second edition of Bahá’í Faith: The Basics is a thorough revision, expansion, and updating of the first edition, not a light retouching. The manuscript has grown from ten chapters to eleven — anchored by an entirely new chapter, “Progressive Revelation: The Bahá’í Faith among the World’s Religions,” and by the insertion of short URLs after every “BRL” (Bahá’í Reference Library) citation, thereby giving readers of the electronic edition instant, one-click access to the Bahá’í sacred texts and authoritative sources quoted throughout.Bahá’í Faith: The Basics is ideal for students and interested readers wanting to familiarize themselves with the Bahá’í Faith.

Recensioner i media

Praise for the first edition: “This excellent, beautifully organized introduction provides an accurate and unusually rich entré into a relatively new and still somehow frequently misunderstood religion. The author, Christopher Buck, is a leading scholar of the Bahá’í religion. His book is richly enhanced with quotations from official translations of the Bahá’í sacred writings, insights into the formation of distinctive Bahá’í institutions and rare glimpses of key moments in Bahá’í intellectual history from an introduction to the influential African American Bahá’í philosopher, Alain Locke (d. 1954) known as ‘the father of the Harlem Renaissance’, to a discussion of the more recent development of the Ruhi Institute process. This introduction goes beyond existing textbooks in both scope and detail. It will be warmly welcomed by researchers and students of the Bahá’í Faith.”- Todd Lawson, University of Toronto, Canada
