The Secret of Divine Civilization is a thorough explanation of the
view of the Baha'i Faith on the true nature of civilization. It contains
an appealing and universal message inspiring world-mindedness and
soliciting the highest human motives and attributes for the
establishment of a spiritual society. Written by Abdu'l-Baha in the late
nineteenth century as a letter to the rulers and people of Persia, it is
still profoundly relevant today as a guide to creating a peaceful and
productive world.
