"... A volume of general letters written by Shoghi Effendi to the Bahá'ís of the West between 1929 and 1938. In it he describes the character and structure of the Divine Civilization designed by Bahá'u'lláh and known as the World Order of Bahá'u'lláh, its sources and authority in Bahá'í Scripture and its institutions. He recounts the disintegrating forces at work in civilization during the 1930s and describes the guiding principle of the unity of mankind and the future world Commonwealth; affirms the non-involvement of Bahá'ís in partisan politics; reviews the history of the Faith in America and its spiritual destiny; elucidates the nature of the Dispensation of Bahá'u'lláh, the Revelations of the past and the stations of the Báb and 'Abdu'l-Bahá; cites the scriptural authority of the Administrative Order; outlines the relationship of the Guardianship and the Universal House of Justice; and describes the process of the unfoldment of world civilization and the decline of the old world order."
– from A Basic Bahá'í Dictionary (1989)
selected quotations

"... The sorrows, fears and perplexities evoked by this latest conflict in the unfoldment of the Lesser Peace have intensified the feelings of grievance and outrage at the recurrent crises agitating the planet. The anxieties of people across the globe are even now being played out publicly in angry demonstrations too overwhelming to be ignored. The issues they protest and the emotions they arouse often add to the chaos and confusion they hope by such public displays to resolve. For the friends of God, there is an unambiguous explanation for what is occurring; they have only to recall the vision and principles offered by the Faith if they are to respond effectively to the challenges posed by the spread of distress and dismay. Let them strive to understand more deeply the Teachings that are relevant by reviewing letters of Shoghi Effendi which have been published in The World Order of Bahá'u'lláh , particularly those entitled "The Goal of a New World Order", "America and the Most Great Peace', and "The Unfoldment of World Civilization"." ...
