"Behold, He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him." (Revelation 1:7) This promise has for 2,000 years kept alive Christian anticipation for the Second Coming of Christ. As a lifelong believer in the Bible, Gary L. Matthews asks certain obvious questions: How can literal eyes see a physical body appearing amidst material clouds? Could this paradox imply that the promised clouds may be spiritual, rather than material? Might they not be "clouds" of confusion, mystery and misunderstanding that veil Christ's reappearance so He is spiritually "seen" by all yet recognized - at first - only by those willing to surrender long-held preconceptions? In this book, Matthews explores biblical evidence from the perspective of the Baha'i Faith. Following that evidence to its logical conclusion, he poses yet another startling question: Is it possible that the Second Coming has already taken place?
Author Gary Matthews documents why he believes that the Revelation of Baha'u'llah is divine in origin, representing a unique summons of unequaled importance to humanity. The book contains discussions of Baha'i prophecies concerning historical events and scientific discoveries. Among the events and discoveries discussed are the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the worldwide erosion of ecclesiastical authority, the Holocaust, and the development of nuclear weapons. A new and updated edition. The previous edition (George Ronald) was a limited release and not offered to the U.S. trade/consumer market.
Who was Baha'u'llah? In the 19th century, this unschooled Persian prisoner predicted the "lamentations of Berlin," the downfall of Germany in two great wars. He warned against nuclear weapons, described the global village in which we now live, and offered a blueprint for a peaceful world. Baha'u'llah claimed to be God's Messenger for this age. Is this true? How could we know? Journalist Gary L. Matthews investigates the prophecies, life, character, and influence of Baha'u'llah, and reports what he regards as the scoop of a lifetime. This book is an abridgment and synopsis of its author's earlier work, The Challenge of Baha'u'llah, from George Ronald (Oxford).
Here is a fun, fact-packed journey through modern science - from the clockwork cosmos of Newton, through the four-dimensional "spacetime" of Einstein, to the quirky microverse of Heisenberg and Bohr. Tour guide Gary L. Matthews explains, in simple layman's language, how 'Abdu'l-Baha's comments on ether anticipate some of today's most revolutionary discoveries of relativity and quantum mechanics. Never again will the universe look quite the same!

Is the Bah' Faith becoming "America's religion"? A thoughtful Southern Baptist minister finds this prospect suddenly real, and edging steadily closer. Writing for the Baptist Press News, Rev. Mark Coppenger notes Bah' gains on such diverse fronts as world peace, race unity, women's rights, the environment and many more. He shows how the Faith's principles, born in 19th-century Persia, mesh with modern ideals, while its high moral standards place it on firmer footing than more permissive movements. In this grateful response, Bah' author Gary L. Matthews applauds the reverend's analysis on all counts but one - his view of Bah' theology as "decidedly non-Christian." For in reality Bah's defend ...
