The Advent of Divine Justice

by Effendi Shoghi

"The Advent of Divine Justice" by Shoghi Effendi is a letter written on December 25, 1938, to the Baháʼís of the United States and Canada. It describes America's unique spiritual destiny and the role American Baháʼís must play in establishing the Most Great Peace worldwide. Effendi outlines three spiritual prerequisites—moral rectitude, absolute chastity, and complete freedom from prejudice—that believers must internalize. More than half the work focuses on attitudes and techniques for teaching the Baháʼí Faith.
