The Balm”! lWorld is the principalpublic record of the community’s growth and development. The volumes reproduce major documents and provide statistical data and other information on the Baha’i Faith’s Wide- ranging program of activities, Which are illustrated by many photographs and charts. In-depth articles focus on major areas of Baha’i concern.
