Universal Principles of the Bahai Movement
Social, Economic, Governmental (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Universal Principles of the Bahai Movement: Social, Economic, Governmental<br><br>Through Baha'o'llah, his precursor the Bah and Abdul-Baha, a universal religion has been given to the world. In their teachings the basic principles of all religions are demonstrated to be the same in kind and spirit, faith in the teachings of the past is strengthened and confirmed, and humanity finds the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man practically realized.<br><br>Many people are inquiring what new principles and teachings the Bahai Movement offers which are not already contained in the religions and philosophies of the past. Therefore it has seemed advisable to publish the accompanying compilation of excerpts from the writings of Baha'o'llah and Abdul-Baha in order to bring to the notice of the public some of the practical reforms and institutions for which their teaching stands. Like all the world's leaders of thought and morals the Bahai teachers have been far ahead of their time. A universal religion, international arbitration, universal peace, a universal language, universal suffrage and all of these reforms which compose a universal civilization, were unthought of by the world when, over half a century ago, these principles were first taught by the Bahais.<br><br>Those who wish to make a study of the Bahai Movement will find in its literature ample treatises through which the subject may also be approached from the spiritual and religious as well as philosophic and prophetic viewpoints.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
