Still the classic introduction- By: Iain S. Palin, 29 Jan 2008 Many years, & many editions & reprintings, after it first appeared this book still remains the classic introduction to the Baha'i Faith. The author was an early Scottish Baha'i whose close involvement with the leading figures of the religion gave him a unique insight which still informs the text today. It is comprehensive although inevitably it tends to be more detailed on the history & on the broad sweep of the Baha'i teachings: those seeking a detailed exposition of recent developments will have to look elsew here. But as an introduction to this religion - now the world's second most widespread after Christianity - it stands the test of time & speaks clearly to us now.Introducing the new World Order...- By: Dr Burns, 15 Nov 2003 This book is a wonderfully comprehensive intro to the new Era of Baha'u'llah, His teachings are expoundedin a lucid & structured manner that I found both informative & readable. It is interesting to note that Abdu'l-Baha collaborated with the authorin the completion of this work, providing authoritative suggetions as well as editing a number of chapters before His passing. I highly recommend this book for those interestedin learning more about the Baha'i Faith.
