In this compact work, Esslemont comprehensively yet succinctly sets forth the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh, the Prophet and Founder of the Bahá'í Faith. He outlines the religion's early history; explains the religion's theology; incorporates extracts from Bahá'í scripture; and provides information on Bahá'í spiritual practices. This is essential reading for students of comparative religion.
The Classic Introductory Book
This was my very first Baha'i book, over 40 years ago. It provided everything I needed in clear and simple language, altho even then it was a bit dated. Isn't it almost 100 years old now? Kind of cool. And did Abdu'l-Baha himself review and approve it, as someone told me? Maybe not.
