History and Biography

'Abdu'l-Bahá and Rebirth of Man

This book consists of two sections. The first section reviews 'Abdu'l-Bahá’s travels to the West, His critique of modernism and the prevalent religiosity, Bahá'u'lláh’s teachings and the birth of a new race of man, and conclusion.

The second section provides a selection of 17 talks of 'Abdu'l-Bahá from His travels in Europe and North America.

The book is the story of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s trip to New York in 1912. It focuses on the spiritual and social teachings of the Bahá’í Faith as described by the Master. It familiarizes the reader with the life and beliefs of the people of New York at the time. It also introduces the early Bahá’í community of the United States, their understanding and interests, their struggles and achievements in building the Baha’i community.

This book contains ten chapters each written by a scholar in this field - including Mojan Momen, Fereydun Vahman, and Nader Saeedi, compiled and edited by Dr. Fereydun Vahman. The book reveals the emergence of a new religion in nineteenth century Iran and its revolutionary teachings that, with the passion and sacrifice of its adherents, gradually penetrated Iranian society. Despite more than one and a half centuries of violent persecution, this religion not only continued to exist but also transformed and spread beyond the borders of Iran in the form of the Bahá’í Faith.

The importance of this unique work cannot be overstated. Firstly, because it is a lasting tribute of our generation to the Báb’s bicentenary birth, and secondly because of its original and novel contents on the Báb and the Bábí community of Iran. In Persian.
