Peace: More than an End to War presents a plan of action to establish world peace from the perspective of the Bahai Faith. This book is an inspiring source of hope and a practical guide for anyone working for the cause of world peace. The selections from the Bahai writings in this compilation spell out how world peace can be achieved. They explain that humanity is in a transition from adolescence to adulthood, that the spiritual roots of peace must be identified, and that the barriers to peace--racism, extremes of wealth and poverty, the denial of the equality of men and women, and unbridled nationalism and religious strife--must be eliminated in order to lay the groundwork for true and lasting peace. The book discusses the essential Bahá'í principles of the oneness of humanity and the oneness of religion as being critical to the creation of a true and lasting peace.
