Description

Bahaism is described by Hippolyte Dreyfus-Barney as not a new religion, but a religion renewed. It recognizes that while it does not claim to encapsulate the whole Truth, it acknowledges fundamental principles shared across all previous faiths. This perspective fosters a long-overdue sense of unity, encouraging individuals to shed outdated superstitions and embrace the living spirit of their beliefs. Dreyfus-Barney emphasizes that the Bahá’ís view God as having continually raised enlightened beings throughout history, imparting essential moral principles that underpin societys evolution. Dreyfus, who became the first French Bahá’í in 1901, dedicated his life to the study of the Bahá’í writings, translating them into French after receiving formal training in Arabic and Persian. His significant contributions included advocating for the protection of Bahá’ís in Iran and representing the community in various legal matters. Following his marriage to fellow Bahá’í Laura Clifford Barney in 1911, he adopted the name Dreyfus-Barney. Posthumously recognized by Shoghi Effendi as one of the 19 Disciples of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, he left a lasting legacy in the realm of Bahá’í scholarship. (Introduction by Nicholas James Bridgewater)
