Religion and Science in the Globalized World explores contemporary trends in religion, science, and globalization from a Bahá’í perspective. It is divided into two parts. The first part is devoted to Bahá’í approaches to various aspects of globalization. It includes the following chapters: “Global Constitutionalism” by Graham Hassall; “Globalization—The Tangible Expression of Humanity’s Journey Towards Unity” by Sovaida Ma’ani Ewing; “Building a Just and Sustainable Global Food System: Some Guiding Principles” by Paul Hanley; “How Can We All Get Along?—A Bahá’í Perspective on Globalization” by Harold Rosen; and “Globalization Requires a Bahá’í Foundation” by Hooshmand Badee.
The book’s second part focuses on different issues within the domains of natural and social sciences. The chapters included are as follows: “A Bahá’í View of Human Rights” by Peter Smith; “Prophetic Revelation and Sociocultural Evolution: Some Scientific Perspectives” by Harry P.Massoth and Marilu Jeno; “Plato, Modern Physics, and Bahá’u’lláh” by Vahid Ranjbar; “Iterative Theology: Progressive Revelation as the String Theory of Religious Studies” by Andres Elvira Espinoza; and “The Issue of Self-Identity in Transhumanism and the Bahá’í Writings” by Mikhail Sergeev.

Review This Product This compilation offers a selection of passages on one of the key aims of the Bahá’í Faith—the elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty on a global scale. The Universal House of Justice, the international governing body of the Faith, referring to the wealth inequality that exists between and within nations, writes: “However much such conditions are the outcome of history, they do not have to define the future. . . .” The selections gathered here, taken from Bahá’í scripture and other Bahá’í sources, present the vision of a just and unified global civilization that is both materially and spiritually prosperous. Such a vision calls for transformation—on both an individual and collective level—based on the study and practical application of spiritual principles. Drawing on texts stretching from the latter half of the nineteenth century up to the present day, For the Well-Being of All not only presents such principles as they pertain to a wide range of themes, but includes guidance and reflection concerning their application in the modern world.

Review This Product
Technology, tourism, politics, and law have connected human beings around
the world more closely than ever before, but this closeness has,
paradoxically, given rise to fear, distrust, and misunderstanding between
nation-states and religions. In light of the tensions and conflicts that
arise from these complex relationships, many search for ways to find peace
and understanding through a “global public sphere.”
Contributors to this volume address various aspects of this challenge
within the context of Bahá’í thought and practice, whose goal is to lay the
foundations for a new world civilization that harmonizes the spiritual and
material aspects of human existence. Bahá’í teachings view religion as a
source of enduring insight that can enable humanity to repair and transcend
patterns of disunity, to foster justice within the structures of society,
and to advance the cause of peace. Accordingly, religion can and ought to
play a role in the broader project of creating a pattern of public
discourse capable of supporting humanity’s transition to the next stage in
its collective development.
