This second edition of Gerald Keil's thought-provoking book includes new material on the practical application of the Bad???' calendar as well as examining its historical background and symbolic significance. The Bad???' calendar is derived directly from the revealed writings of both the B???b and Bah???'u'll???h and is a component part of the revelation of Bah???'u'll???h. The inherent symbolism of the calendar, however, has until now remained largely unexplored, so that the systematic investigation presented by this wide-ranging, impressive study is no doubt the rst of its kind. One of the main themes of the book is that the Bad???' calendar is creative in the sense that, through its symbolic association with different aspects of the Bah???'??? Faith, it can serve to represent and illustrate many of the central tenets of the Faith. Symbol and object converge in the Bad???' calendar in a manner which is unique in the entire revelation. The full effect the Bad???' calendar will have on society is hardly predictable at present or in the near future. Just as the actual unfolding of the World Order of Bah???'u'll???h will reveal to future generations aspects of practical and spiritual life which we cannot even imagine today, so too will the world-wide application of the Bad???' calendar exert an influence on the physical and spiritual rhythm of life in a fashion and to a degree which we cannot yet appreciate. The meaning of the Bad???' calendar will rst become fully evident to those privileged to live in the pulse of this future World Order.
