"This general introduction to the Baha'i faith in America offers an overview of its origin and growth, beliefs and principles, laws and rituals, and administrative and social organization. Focusing on the historical development of the Baha'i faith, it chronologically traces the growth of the Baha'i community in this country from its inception in the late nineteenth century to the current day. Major themes and events are considered in their historical context and examined alongside some of the more controversial aspects of Baha'i history and practice, such as early racial problems and the current ban on women becoming members of its supreme institution, The Universal House of Justice. This book offers readers a glimpse into an often misunderstood faith and its position in America today."--Jacket.
