Remarkable work

This work deals with a subject that should be of interest to all - the relation between the Prophet and His followers. In this case the author deals with the person of Bahá'u'lláh who founded the Bahá'i Faith in 1863. As universal and central to human existence as this subject is it is not an easy one to write about. The author has managed to engage the reader in an insightful discussion. The book blends a review of concepts drawn from Bahá'í Scriptures with a review of historic events that took place in the last hundred years or so. It analyses the parameters of the relationship established through a unique Covenant between the Manifestation of God and His followers, the reasons why this Covenant exists and the consequences for the individuals who knowingly choose to violate it. It is not as difficult a read as one might think. The reader not familiar with the basic facts of this new faith would probably benefit from reading "The Bahá'í Faith: The Emerging Global Religion" by Hatcher and Martin first.
