In the latter decades of the nineteenth century, in the midst of dramatic and far-reaching
developments, humanity's ancient relationship with God was at once fractured and renewed.
In that momentous century remarkable changes in the areas of science, the arts, religion,
and political leadership occurred. Concomitantly, religion underwent highly consequential
changes and challenges. These ranged from open rejection of religion and adoption of
secularism by many individuals; attempts at modernization, reform, and social activism by
some religions; militarism, fundamentalism, and fanaticism in segments of various faith
groups; and open debates regarding the legitimacy, usefulness, and necessity of religion.
In the midst of the emergence of the age of atheism in the nineteenth century, a new world
religion--the Bah ' Faith--with striking and profound new perspectives on all aspects of
life, but especially with regard to human relationships in general, and with God in
particular, came into being. This book is a brief introduction to Baha'u'llah, the
Manifestation of God for this age.
