SEARCH FOR VALUES: Ethics in Baha"i Thought Edited by John Danesh and Seena Fazel Studies in the Bábí and Bahá"í Religions, Volume 15 This book is a first attempt by several Bahá"í scholars to come to terms with the implications of a Bahá"í system of ethics in modern life--from the university to the family. Udo Schaefer argues that Bahá"u"lláh"s writings provide humanity with a "Straight Path" to happiness with a coherent ethical system. Christian theologian John Hick asks: Can there be only one true religion? In addition, three authors examine the early efforts of some believers to translate this ethical vision into reality in Bahá"í history: Christopher Buck writes on the career of Alain Locke, noted African American philosopher; Moojan Momen introduces Jamál Effendi, early Bahá"í teacher to India and Burma; Richard Hollinger reexamines the early history of the Bahá"í Faith in America. An important addition to Bahá"í scholarship.
