The Untold History of the Baha’i Faith: Origins, Teachings, and Controversies
The Baha’i Faith is a global religion with over five million followers worldwide, founded in 1863 by Baha’u’llah, a Persian nobleman who claimed to be the “Spirit of Truth” and the return of Jesus Christ. This video explores the core teachings of the Baha’i Faith, including its views on Jesus’ resurrection and the Second Coming, as well as its vision for a one-world government.
But there’s more beneath the surface: we also uncover lesser-known and controversial aspects of Baha’i history, including troubling racial statements by ‘Abdu’l-Baha, the ownership and trade of Black slaves by early leaders, and the suppression of this history by the Universal House of Justice.
Whether you’re curious about the Baha’i Faith’s inspiring message or its complicated past, this video offers a critical look at this unique religion.
