Tracing the rise and development of the most widespread religion in the world, this is a succinct but comprehensive study of the history of the Bahá¿í faith. Dr Smith, a well-known writer in the field, deftly explores the religion from its origins in mid-nineteenth century Iran to the spiritual and social concerns of the present day. His account features coverage of: ¿ the Bábí movement from which the Bahá¿í faith grew ¿ the life and teachings of the prophet-founder of the Bahá¿í Faith, Bahá¿ülláh, and his successors ¿ the global expansion of the faith ¿ the organisation of the Bahá¿í community today Combining concise and skilful writing with illustrations of key people, places and events, this is a thorough historical survey of a religion that now has an estimated six million adherents.
