abstract	Humanity is undergoing a great revolution, a universal transformation in its life, thought and society. William Barnes believes this revolution is essentially a spiritual one. The human aspect of the human being is giving way to the divine aspect. What are the initial stages of this transformation? Part one explores facets of this new way of knowing: faith as a way of jnowing; reconfiguration of human intelligence; the heart is an organ of human intelligence. In part two, "The Revolt against Materialism: A Sociology of the Spirit" he shows the current materialistic social order is being transofmred into a divine one. The emerging global Bahá'í community is a model for putting the science of sociology on a spiritual foundation.
