Quoted

A Basic Bahá’í Dictionary is a non-specialist’s introduction to the Bahá’í Faith and to Bahá’í literature. It is intended neither to be comprehensive nor to provide a deep understanding of the Bahá’í Faith which can only come through reading and reflecting on the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi. Rather the Dictionary offers brief explanations of many of the concepts of the Bahá’í Faith, defines words found in Bahá’í literature, provides a glossary of several Persian and Arabic words, gives a short introduction to some of the more well-known figures and events from Bahá’í history, and presents a broad outline of the administrative structure, organization and practices of the Bahá’ís. It does not attempt to provide a guide to the pronunciation of any terms.

My sister and brother-in-law recently relocated and chose to donate several books in their library rather than move them. Many of these volumes are not well-known, but due to the topics they cover and the manner in which their authors explore them, they warrant a nod of recognition before being sent on their way. Accordingly, most quotes referenced in the “Quoted” section come from these books. Maybe they will stir (or renew) your interest, too.
