Of course everyone knows today that world peace must be brought about if humanity is to survive. A century ago, when Baha'u'llah was calling the nations to peace, the idea of world peace was still outside the range of general consideration. By declaring this precept of Baha'u'llah's to be a "commonplace".. (the theologian) gives the impression that Baha'u'llah merely recognized the task-- obvious today-- without pointing the way to its achievement. He knows very well that this is not the case, that the Baha'i Faith offers very concrete remedies for the "disease" of war..
