Educational, but I could not quite make the connection between the original Baha'i scriptures of the 1800s and the modern interpretation of those scriptures. I admire the modern goals and methods of this faith, as far as I can tell, but it feels unnecessary for me personally to adopt a new faith when my own tradition goes to the same places, and has the same challenges of scriptural interpretation.

Good introduction to the faith

I have been curious about the Baha'i faith for some time. This book gives a concise description alongside pertinent readings. As a lapsed Catholic, I found it very interesting. 9/10 would recommend.
