A chilling historical account of the abuse of religious authority and its sobering examination of the catastrophic result of 20th century materialism and economic exploitation are balanced with a message of great hope that "the period of history now opening will be far more receptive to the efforts to spread Bahá'u'lláh's message" and a reminder of the obligation for Baha'is to assist "all stages of humanity's universal movement towards reunion with God." Other sections reinforce the importance of Baha'is participation in the three core activities of the Five Year Plan and the call for a better understanding of "the fundamental difference distinguishing the mission of Baha'u'llah from political and ideological projects of human design." With the release of this publication, we possess a new resource to help humanity recognize that all of the religious dispensations have brought humanity to the threshold of its "collective coming-of-age as a single people" and towards our union in "one common Faith."
