Barriers to belief in Bahá’u’lláh are being shattered by a revolution in the way rank-and-file Christians interpret the Bible. Are Bahá’í communities ready?
In North America, at least one-third – sometimes clear majorities – already agree with Bahá’í teachings concerning God, religious oneness, the Resurrection and Virgin Birth of Jesus, the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, Satan, Heaven and Hell. Similar shifts are broadening the way believers understand Incarnation, Original Sin and other classic creeds that once divided them from other faiths.
Many such devoted Christians never have heard of the Bahá’í Faith. Few realize that their personal theology may be closer, in spirit and substance, to Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings than to the formal creeds of any established church. Millions therefore are seeking a new spiritual home, little realizing that this new World Faith offers what they want – a universal outlook coupled with deep commitment to Jesus Christ.
Citing Christian polling data, Gary L. Matthews documents and explores these startling new trends. Where do they come from? What do they mean for Bahá’í teaching? What opportunities do they open, and – perhaps most urgent – how long will these opportunities last?
This book will inspire, encourage and empower many readers. It may dismay others. It will leave few unshaken.
