As the Bahá'í community becomes an ever more familiar figure on the international landscape, attention has been increasingly attracted to the teachings of its founder, Bahá'u'lláh. In this groundbreaking study, Nader Saiedi addresses key controversies and problems in the current academic literature about Bahá'u'lláh's writings. Saiedi approaches the subject from sociological, historical, philosophical, spiritual, and theological perspectives and draws on the vast body of previously untranslated original Persian and Arabic texts. Analyzing selected works that represent the three stages of Bahá'u'lláh's revelation, he argues for the conceptual continuity of Bahá'u'lláh's teaching throughout His life, from the inception of His mission in Tehran's Siyah-Chal dungeon to the last books He wrote in exile in Ottoman Palestine.

Logos and Civilization is an original and probing investigation of the writings of Bahá'u'lláh, whose visionary insights into the spiritual, social, economic, and political dimensions of humanity in the context of globalization have only begun to attract the attention they merit.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The book explores Bahá'u'lláh's vision of global unity and justice
    Reviewed in Australia on October 3, 2023

    The text discusses the challenges of modernity, emphasizing a sense of intellectual and moral chaos in the current age. It notes that both modernity and postmodern solutions have failed to provide a vision for self, society, history, and ethical ideals that can address global challenges. The text highlights the urgent need for a blueprint for global order as the world becomes more interconnected.

    The writings of Bahá’u’lláh, the Prophet-founder of the Bahá’í Faith, are mentioned as offering a vision of global unity that can unite religions, races, and nations. He calls for unity and justice among humanity, emphasizing the need for rulers and leaders to work toward the highest interests of all people. His writings are described as removing sources of conflict and promoting harmony and enduring unity among humanity.
