Baha'i Faith

Summary: a great introduction
Review: The Baha'i Faith A Short Introduction is a helpful guide to begin understanding the religion of God, but not the best introductory book out there. The focus is on the teachings, with only a bit about the history. Not only that, but certain teachings are emphasized and others are given less attention or comprehension. For example, I thought Momen did a good job on the nature of God as described by all the previous Divine Revelations, but should have gone into more depth on uniting the other concepts of the world religions, and how to understand them as a Baha'i. But overall he still did pretty all right. I would in now way shape or form discourage you to read this book, unless you were to only read one book on the Faith, and that you should read others. Even I myself have not read many, but from what I have seen Esslemont's work is written very well, enough to be the one I recommend. But I reckon Moojan Momen still atleast gets one thumbs up!!! ;>)

Review: This book is exactly that, a short introduction. It's great for those who want to find out more about the Baha'i faith but do not know where to look first. For those taking religion or comparative religion classes this is a must-read. Once I began reading, I couldn't put it down, and now I can't seem to get it back from my friends!
