description: I BEHELD A MAIDEN . . . : The Bah' Faith and the Life of the Spirit By Terry Culhane A fresh new look at the Bah' Faith! Bah'u'llh tells us that the first words of the Revelation were spoken to him by a woman: Turning My face I beheld a Maiden--the embodiment of the remembrance of the name of My Lord . . . This Maiden rejoiced his soul and informed him of his Mission. And so Terry Culhane goes in search of the Divine Feminine in the Writings of Bah'u'llh. He finds that the whole body of Writings can be read as a conversation between a Lover (Bah'u'llh) and his Beloved (the Maiden). This love and mystery must stand at the heart of Bah' identity and Bah' community life. Sharing his own spiritual journey Culhane offers an insightful and fascinating reconsideration of the most basic Bah' teachings seen in light of the mystical core at the center of all religion. His discoveries are startling and exciting!
