The Divine Curriculum: The Bab, Part 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781967447015)

This book, The Divine Curriculum: The Báb, Part 1, is the first of two books on the Báb in the Divine Curriculum series of books.

These books examine the life and teachings of the Báb ("the Gate"). The story begins in 1844, in Persia, when the Báb, a merchant in the Persian city of Shíráz, shocks the nation with a new Revelation from God.

The Báb was an Independent Manifestation of God, a Divine Educator in His own right.

He was also the Forerunner of Bahá'u'lláh, the Founder of the Bahá'í Faith, a religion that has grown from a small Movement in the 19th century into a major world religion with eight million followers residing in 234 countries.

The Báb's role is so important that, in fact, He is considered a Co-Founder of the Bahá'í Faith.

His teachings were remarkably modern: "All things" are reflections of God. The oneness and infinity of God. The unity of His Messengers. Searching for truth. Bringing joy not grief to others. Avoiding intolerance. Keeping the environment pure. Advancement of women. And, of course, the coming of Bahá'u'lláh!

Among His countrymen, the Báb's Faith was wildly popular. The government and religious leaders of His day brutally persecuted the young Faith. 20,000 followers were martyred. The Báb Himself was executed by firing squad. Nevertheless, the Faith grew into a world religion, with over eight million members in over 234 countries. Today it is known as the Baha'i Faith. The compelling drama begins with the heroic story of the Báb.

The Báb, Part 1 explains His remarkably potent teachings and presents the opening portion of His heroic story (1844-1846). Valuable appendices are included.

The Báb, Part 2 continues His eventful career and brings the story of His heroic ministry to its outstanding climax (1846-1850). Even more valuable appendices are included!

Drawing on exciting new research findings, these books reveal the heroic, mysterious, tragic, and powerful story of the Báb, as well as the crucial role He played in the unfoldment of the never-ending Divine Curriculum.
