The Divine Melody: Song of the Mystic Dove

By Lorraine Hétu Manifold.
Mona Vale, NSW National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Australia 2022 .
133 p. , The Divine Melody is a collection of gems from the Writings of the Bahá’í Faith that refer to the Word of God as music emanating from the Mystic Dove or the Nightingale of Paradise. This beautiful and mystical concept refers not only to the Divine Word as a melody but also to the spiritual calling for us to spread the Divine Word in song and to lift up our voices to the praise and glorification of God. "Hearken then unto that which the Bird of Heaven uttered, in the sweetest and most wondrous accents, and in the most perfect and exalted melodies..." — Bahá’u’lláh "Give ear unto that which the Dove of Eternity warbleth upon the twigs of the Divine Lote-Tree..." — Bahá’u’lláh 9781925320251

By Michael Fitzgerald.
Oxford George Ronald 2008 .
ix, 262 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 22 cm , Where does art intersect with faith? In this collection of essays, memoirs, stories and poems Bahá’í artists reflect on what they do. The different arts represented include drama, visual art, music and literature. Art can provide answers not only to the ‘Why?’ of things in individual lives – it can illumine whole societies. So can religion. Bahá’ís believe that just as religion has influenced the development of past civilizations, so now the revelation of Bahá’u’lláh will bring a global civilization into being. Art will play a key role in this process. ‘. . . in this wonderful new age, art is worship.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá 9780853985259
