The present book, in its first part, offers a short account of the earthly life of Baha'u'llah, describing his background, the main features of His life, the course of His Exiles, and noting his chief writings. The second part is an essay on the eternal Manifestation of God, that Divine Spirit Who, for a mortal span, occupies the human temple of Baha'u'llah, of Jesus of Nazareth, of Muhammad, of Gautama. The author examines His station, His relationship to God and to humanity, His influence on history, and cites from the various scriptures examples of His redemptive power over men. The two essays together engage the reader in a deepening and illuminating spiritual experience.
