Second Century Believers by Deborah Clark Vance, published by George Ronald Publisher, Limited on December 15, 2024, is a 238-page exploration of the experiences of youth who embraced the Bahá’í Faith between 1964 and 1973.

The book delves into how the social environment of the 1960s and early 1970s shaped the beliefs and commitments of this generation. It examines the factors that have contributed to their sustained involvement in the Bahá’í Faith, despite some individuals withdrawing from membership or losing touch.

Official synopsis Publisher
A great many youth who did not grow up in Bahá’í families entered the Bahá’í Faith between 1964 and 1973. Although there were those who withdrew from membership or stayed out of touch, a strong cohort of others are still actively engaged in Bahá’í communities; I count myself among them. This book presents voices of US Americans who were in their teens or early twenties when they became Bahá’ís and have been active believers for the past half century or so. I wanted to explore how the social environment during that eventful decade had influenced this generation’s thought processes while seeking and accepting the Bahá’í Faith, and what has enabled them to remain actively engaged in it even a half century later, at the time of writing.
