The Báb and His Heroes tells the dramatic story of the Báb and those brave men and women who, abandoning the religious doctrines and superstitions of their varied faiths, accepted His claim to fulfill the prophecies of those faiths and offered up their lives in His path.
Over the course of just a few short years, from 1844–1852, the new religion proclaimed by the Báb produced a revolutionary spirit among the people of Persia, and its teachings revolutionized the lives of His followers, creating profound transformations in individual and community morals and values, aspirations and organization. The profound truths He proclaimed and the plans He laid for the dissemination of His teachings were so compelling that in a brief span of years, His faith had spread throughout His native Persia, present-day Iran, and beyond.
