    About this ebook

    Worldwide in its membership and increasingly being recognized as a world religion, the Baha’i Faith is enjoying rapid expansion. In this captivating book, one of the world's leading Baha’i scholars gives a brief survey of the life, the works, and the teachings of Baha'u'llah, its founder. Covering the resistance he encountered, including successive forced exiles and vitriolic opposition, this book highlights his dedication and that of his followers who were often willing to sacrifice their lives for his teachings. Comprehensive and yet concise, and complete with a detailed guide to sources and references, this is a perfect book for anyone interested in knowing more about the Baha’i Faith and its dramatic inception.
