Excerpt from Bahai the Spirit of the Age
The new translation of an ancient classic contains one very significant change. A prophetic passage formerly interpreted "the end of the world" reads now "the end of the age."
In this sense, the world has indeed come to an end in our day - the foundations of a new age, a new civilization, a new science and a new faith have visibly been laid. The inspiration of this new age, for many people in all parts of the world, has one source, one password, one mystery: the name Bahai.
The word Bahai is like a jewel with many facets, a fountain with many pitchers, a mansion with many rooms.
For some, it means a set of principles necessary for the peace of the world, for economic stability, for the true progress of the sciences and the arts.
For others, Bahai means the privilege of belonging to an active movement already spread throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and large portions of the East; a movement spreading the ideals of fellowship and service irrespective of race, creed, nationality and class.
