The Baháʼí:

The Religious Construction of a Global Identity
Front Cover
1 Review
Rutgers University Press, 2000 - Religion - 246 pages
The Baha'i Faith is one of the fastest growing, but least studied, of the world's religions. Adherents view themeselves as united by a universal belief that transcends national boundaries. Michael McMullen examines how the Baha'i develop and maintain this global identity. Taking the Baha'i community in Atlanta, Georgia, as a case in point, his book is the first to comprehensively examine the tenets of this little-understood faith.
