The nineteenth century not only saw the appearance of two Manifestations of God; it also witnessed the most far-ranging transformations, wrought by the Spirit of the Age upon human society and the rulers who - consciously or unconsciously - laboured under its influence. In His letters to the Kings of His time, Baha'u'llah commented upon the state of the masses, foreseeing in prophecy and allusion the tragic consequences of neglecting His call. In the George Ronald Publication, Baha'u'llah, The West and the Birth of Modernity - An Essay on the Awakening of Humanity, Stephen Beebe offers a perspective on Bahá’u’lláh’s messages to the Kings and the significance of His Revelation for the spiritual empowerment of the masses to become protagonists of their own advancement.

In this episode of Great Reads: The George Ronald Podcast, Stephen Beebe speaks about Bahá’u’lláh’s call to the Rulers of His time, the spiritual awakening of humankind and its role in advancing civilization.
