Who was Baha’u’llah? In the 19th Century, this unschooled Persian prisoner predicted the “lamentations of Berlin”, the downfall of Germany in two great wars. He warned against nuclear weapons, foresaw the drawing together of humanity into a global village, and offered – to the rulers of His time – a blueprint for a peaceful world. Baha’u’llah claimed to be God’s Messenger for this age. Is this true? How could we know? Journalist Gary Matthews examines the prophecies, life, character, and influence of Baha’u’llah – and uncovers the scoop of a lifetime.

Is the Bahá’í Faith becoming “America’s religion”? A thoughtful Southern Baptist minister finds this prospect suddenly real, and edging steadily closer. In this grateful response, Bahá’í author Gary L. Matthews applauds the reverend’s analysis on all counts but one – his view of Bahá’í theology as “decidedly non-Christian”. For in reality Bahá’ís defend the divine inspiration of the Gospel while affirming the Sonship, Lordship and Divinity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, resurrection, second coming and saving grace. Matthews explains the Bahá’í Revelation as a renewal of scriptural Christianity and the fulfillment of its millennial prophecies.
