OverviewThis 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 first 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 first become fully evident to those privileged to live in the pulse of this future World Order.
