The Baha'i Faith in America sets out to accomplish two main goals.
The first is to introduce to the American reading public a religion
whose name may be commonly mentioned or heard, yet in terms of its
unique history, world-view, beliefs, and laws, is virtually
unknown. Such categories provide the essential material for Part I.
The second objective, which is the uniting thread of Part II, is to
trace the historical development of the American Baha'i community
from its earliest beginnings at the end of the nineteenth century
up until the present day. The chapters in this section not only
peruse the major events and introduce the leading personalities
associated with American Baha'i history, they also trace
significant themes, motifs, and issues that have characterized the
community over the decades. Examples include early Baha'i
connections with both American millenialism and metaphysical
esotericism, to more recent associations with the Civil Rights
Movement and the 1960s youth counterculture. In addition, the
book's final chapters take a close look at some of the more
controversial issues that have characterized American Baha'i
community life over the past few decades. Here issues ranging in
content from disagreements over differing styles of propogation to
the freedom of expression allowed to Baha'i scholars are examined.
In the process, the work reveals a dynamic and highly idealistic
faith that is attempting to offer a model of religious community
that is compatible with the continuing process of globalization.
