May 29, 1992, marks the centenary of the passing of Bahá'u'lláh.
His vision of humanity as one people and of the earth as a common homeland,
dismissed out of hand by the world leaders to whom it was first enunciated over
a hundred years ago, has today become the focus of human hope. Equally
inescapable is the collapse of moral and social order, which this same
declaration foresaw with awesome clarity.
The occasion has encouraged publication of this brief introduction to
Bahá'u'lláh's life and work. Prepared at the request of the Universal
House of Justice, trustee of the global undertaking which the events of a
century ago set in motion, it offers a perspective on the feeling of confidence
with which Bahá'ís the world over contemplate the future of our planet and our
race.
