From Sin to Salvation: The Ascent of the Soul examines the Bahá'í views as expressed in the authoritative Bahá'í texts regarding the origin and nature of sin and evil and the power of the individual soul to recognize and combat these forces. In exploring these weighty concepts, author John S. Hatcher discusses what constitutes sin, analyzes how sinful acts affect our lives, both here and hereafter, and, most significantly, reviews what the Bahá'í writings say about the attainment of salvation, even for those who enter the next world without having exercised due diligence in monitoring their spiritual wellbeing.
