Review
One of the things that makes people suspicious of people of other faiths is lack of knowledge and understanding. This is a quick and accurate way of finding out more, and it should make people feel closer to others of different backgrounds. -- Baroness Neuberger DBE

For any thinking person asking serious questions about the issues of our day and matters of belief this new edition of Chambers Dictionary of Beliefs and Religions is a 'must have'. It is an invaluable reference book to have readily at hand. I particularly enjoy browsing through the illuminating special 'panels' on current issues and controversies in religion and belief. Buy it now (or put it on your Christmas 'wish list').

Pathfinder Publisher of Renown links Baha'i and Esperanto
16 May 2011
Format:Hardcover
In addition to several informed entries on pages 66
and 67 depicting the Baha'i Faith and its expansion in the
Third World and to the plight of the Iranian Baha'i community,
a complete entry is allocated to Sir Abdu'l-Baha K.B.E. on page
two and to Shoghi Effendi on page 570. Reference is made also
to the Baha'i Faith, only to the Baha'i Faith as far as
world religions are concerned, under the Esperanto entry on
page 192. That the main Baha'i entry directs readers to
the Esperanto entry and that vice versa the Esperanto
entry cites the Baha'i Faith demonstrates the vision of the
editor and of the overarching importance of the principle of a
universal auxiliary language in the realization of world peace.
The importance of this principle is not in question. What is in
question, reading between the lines of these entries in a world
famous publication, is why so few Baha'is and non Baha'is realize
it and why we should.
That 'Chambers Dictionary of Beliefs and Religions'
is published by Hachette and distributed by Amazon.com evokes the
symbiotic melding of old and new together with the mystical dimension
of a coincidence in that Dr. Zamenhof long ago chose the former body too.
