'Abdu'l-Bahá the Son of Persia illustrates the living relationship between the history of the Bahá’í Faith and the enduring historical narrative of Iran, underscoring the significant influence of the Faith on Iran's intellectual landscape, with a particular focus on its pivotal role during the Constitutional Revolution of 1905.

Also included is a review of how the Baha'i Faith has endured hostility from its very inception, in its birthplace, Iran, and how its modernising influence has been expunged from historical accounts, to the extent that even discussing it has been deemed a criminal act.

'Abdu'l-Bahá's Writings commemorate the human spirit and the unity of mankind. His teachings encompass a range of important principles, such as gender equality, compulsory education, harmonising religious thought with science and reason, the promotion of racial equality, the separation of religion from politics, the pursuit of universal peace, disarmament, and many other core principals.
