The Baha'i Faith: A Guide For The Perplexed de Robert H. Stockman

The Baha'i Faith: A Guide For The Perplexed: Guides for the Perplexed

Autor Robert H. Stockman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 noi 2012
Founded by Bahá'u'llah in Iran in the 19th century, the Bahá'í Faith is one of the youngest of the world's major religions. Though it has over 5 million followers worldwide, it is still little understood outside of its own community. The Bahá'í Faith: A Guide for the Perplexed explores the utopian vision of the Bahá'í Faith including its principles for personal spiritual transformation and for the construction of spiritualized marriages, families, Bahá'í communities, and, ultimately, a spiritual world civilization. Aimed at students seeking a thorough understanding of this increasingly studied religion, this book is the ideal companion to studying and understanding the Bahá'í Faith, its teachings and the history of its development.

Recenzii

Robert Stockman has written an introduction to the Bahá'í Faith that is both thorough and accessible. He is not afraid to tackle difficult and controversial subjects and, although there is a wide range of views about most subjects among Bahá'ís, he appears to have captured well the majority view. There is particularly good coverage of the history of the Bahá'í Faith.
Getting clear and balanced perspectives on new religious movements is notoriously difficult, but in this account of the Bahá'í Faith, Robert H. Stockman has produced a smart, balanced and well-crafted overview of Bahá'í theology and history.Stockman has the sensitivity of an insider and the objectivity of a scholar.In this book Stockman draws on a remarkable range of specialized scholarly sources and his own extensive research and communicates all of it in an engaging and well-written book accessible to a wide audience.
