| Summary |
"God Passes By" by Effendi Shoghi is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. This work explores the background and evolution of the Bahá'í Faith, detailing its origins and significant events, including the ministries of the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh, as well as the early years of the Bahá'í community. The author provides insights into the socio-political upheaval that characterized the spreading of this new religion amidst fierce opposition. The beginning of "God Passes By" presents an overview of the Bahá'í Faith, its foundational events, and the impact they had on society. The foreword sets the stage by highlighting that a century has passed since the founding of the Faith, creating a context for its growth and significance in the spiritual history of mankind. It outlines the potentialities of this Faith during a time of global upheaval and introduces the challenges faced by its followers. The initial chapters hint at journeys and battles of faith, particularly focusing on the pivotal role of the Báb, whose declaration marked the beginning of this transformative movement. Shoghi Effendi emphasizes the historical importance of these events and the profound impact they have had on human society to this day. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
