Abstract	The book covers the historical development of the religion while emphasizing contemporary Bahá'í developments and the Danish Bahá'í community as a case study. The book discusses Bahá'í religious texts, rituals, economy, everyday life, demographic development, mission strategies, leadership, and international activism. The work is based on primary materials such as interviews of Bahá'ís, field work data from the author's study at the Bahá'í World Centre in Haifa, Israel, and field trips around the world. The approach is a combination of history of religions and sociology of religion within a theoretical framework of religion and globalization. The author addresses several generl topics in the study of new religions. The book contributes to the theoretical study of globalization by proposing a new model for analyzing globalization and transnational religions.
