A three-fold purpose underlies this book. The first and obvious intention is to acquaint the serious general reader with a thorough and systematic presentation of the spiritual philosophy of the Bahá’í religion. Many of the academic texts and references currently in use contain erroneous material in matters of fact as well as information purporting to be the Bahá’í belief system. This book will help to correct those errors and clarify the Bahá’í position on the more profound spiritual questions facing religious philosophy. …

The second intention is to demonstrate the inevitable convergence of spiritual, scientific and philosophical thought whose truths are already uncovering the same shared reality bases. The unified model of the universe offered by the Bahá’í religion (which is also compatible with the framework offered by General System Theory) offers a powerful new design of reality and a renewed spiritual and social outlook on humanity’s purpose and destiny which can bring together all man’s endeavours.

The third intention, and perhaps the most personally satisfying, is to take the reader on a new spiritual journey that only the Bahá’í philosophy can provide in quite the way that it does. The spiritual journey is old but the scenery is new.

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.
