Baha'u'llah and the New Era

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.
