| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | Baha’u’llah and the New Era shines as the very best general introductory book about the Bahai Faith of its time, and remains today the most widely known and most used textbook of the Bahai Faith, having been translated into some 60 languages. In this compact work, Esslemont comprehensively yet succinctly sets forth the teachings of Baha’u’lluh, the Prophet and Founder of the Bahai Faith. He outlines the religion’s early history; explains the religion’s theology; incorporates extracts from Bahai scripture; and provides information on Bahai spiritual practices. Essential reading for students of comparative religion. |
| 520 3# - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | The classic introduction to the Bahá'í Faith, which Shoghi Effendi said would inspire generations yet unborn. Primarily directed to a Christian audience. Revised extensively in 1937, 1950 and 1970 to update the book in light of new developments "with a minimum of alteration to the text and chiefly by use of footnotes and of an epilogue giving current statistics." |
