This compilation offers a selection of passages on one of the key aims of the Bahá'í Faith--the elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty on a global scale. The Universal House of Justice, the international governing body of the Faith, referring to the wealth inequality that exists between and within nations, writes: "However much such conditions are the outcome of history, they do not have to define the future. . . ." The selections gathered here, taken from Bahá'í scripture and other Bahá'í sources, present the vision of a just and unified global civilization that is both materially and spiritually prosperous. Such a vision calls for transformation--on both an individual and collective level--based on the study and practical application of spiritual principles. Drawing on texts stretching from the latter half of the nineteenth century up to the present day, For the Well-Being of All not only presents such principles as they pertain to a wide range of themes, but includes guidance and reflection concerning their application in the modern world.
