About this listen

 In his profound work, Thomas K. Cheyne outlines a visionary goal to foster universal peace and promote a deeper understanding of the worlds religions, which are, at their core, manifestations of a singular truth. He argues that the unity of religions must precede the unity of races, which remains tragically incomplete. Cheyne emphasizes studying different races and religions from their most admirable perspectives, rather than being confined to any single tradition. He reflects on the Baháí communitys preferred name for each other—Friends—as a testament to their shared spiritual journey. Cheyne sought to embody a human-catholic religion, embracing simultaneous membership in various spiritual brotherhoods. His aim is to demonstrate that these diverse expressions of faith, when explored deeply, reveal an underlying oneness, leading to racial and global unity. Thomas Kelly Cheyne, D.Litt. D.D., was a notable English theologian and biblical critic whose journey led him to the Baháí Faith, while maintaining his Christian ministerial role. This work, written in 1914, delves into Bábí and Baháí history and serves as a bridge to understanding the interconnectedness of all spiritual paths.Copyright Religious Texts and Commentary Social Sciences Spirituality
