Riassunto

This is a book about unity and the equality of all people. Its contents are drawn from the writings of the Bahá’í Faith, a religion founded on the belief that humankind is one family—a family that should be celebrated and honored for its diversity and not defined by difference and division. The Universal House of Justice, the international governing body of the Faith, describes the oneness of mankind as “a spiritual truth which all the human sciences confirm,” and goes on to say that “anthropology, physiology, psychology, recognize only one human species, albeit infinitely varied in the secondary aspects of life. Recognition of this truth requires abandonment of prejudice—prejudice of every kind—race, class, color, creed, nation, sex, degree of material civilization, everything which enables people to consider themselves superior to others.”The vision offered by the Bahá’í Faith is not merely one of spiritual principles and high ideals but one that provides a practical roadmap for community building and the elimination of prejudice of all kinds. While global and universal in scope, the Faith’s writings place a spotlight on the United States in particular. These writings emphasize the vital need to address the issues of race within the country and paint a picture of a hopeful and glorious destiny to which the American people can rise. With texts stretching from the latter half of the nineteenth century right up to the present day, The Power of Unity contains timeless spiritual wisdom accompanied by insight designed to put that wisdom into practice in the modern age.
