Both violence and non-violence are important themes in the Baha'i
Faith, but their relationship is not simple. The Baha'i sacred
writings see violence in the world - not just against Baha'is, but
physical and structural violence against everyone - as being a
consequence of the immature state of human civilization. The Baha'i
community itself has been nonviolent since its founding by
Baha'u'llah in the mid nineteenth century and has developed various
strategies for responding to persecution nonviolently. This Element
explores how their scriptures provide a blueprint for building a
new, more mature, culture and civilization on this planet where
violence will be rare and nonviolence prevalent.
