Bahá'í International Community
One Common Faith
"One Common Faith" by Bahá'í International Community is a significant publication addressing religious unity in a rapidly changing world, written in the early 21st century. This book leans towards a philosophical and spiritual discourse rather than fitting neatly into a specific genre, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human beliefs and the necessity for a common spiritual foundation to foster peace and collaboration among diverse religions. The central topic focuses on the Bahá'í perspective of unity in diversity and the role of religion as a moral and ethical guide critical to addressing global challenges. In "One Common Faith," the authors explore the growing global interest in religion amidst contemporary crises, advocating for an understanding that transcends sectarian divides. The text emphasizes that historical faiths have contributed substantially to human civilization and moral evolution, yet argues that the present era requires a collective realization of our shared spiritual heritage. By reflecting on the writings of Bahá'u'lláh, the book suggests that recognizing the oneness of humanity and promoting unity is essential for confronting the pressing issues of our time. The discourse underscores the importance of interfaith dialogue and collaboration, promoting a vision of a world where diverse beliefs contribute positively to the collective good, rather than foster division or conflict.
