Wade Fransson is a former Christian Minister who served in numerous countries including many in Eastern and Western Europe, South Africa and the United States. His religious tradition included a deep appreciation for Judaism, in which they observed the Jewish Sabbaths and Holy Days from a Christian vantage point, giving him unique insights into progressive revelation. He first visited the Baha'i World Center in 1981 when he participated in the City of David Archaeological expedition, in conjunction with Ambassador College and Hebrew University. 25 years later he found his way to the Baha’i Faith, declaring, along with his wife, Angela, in 2007. Inspired on his first pilgrimage in 2010 to launch a Publishing Company, Wade went on to publish books by several Baha’i authors, as well as other religious and secular authors. Wade and his family are enthusiastic participants in Baha’i Community Activities, as well as launching individual initiatives such as The Royal Falcon Foundation and the weekly Created in the Image of God podcast.
"The Bible and the Baha'i Faith: A Religious Duty, to be presented by Wade Fransson is a focused effort to assist Baha’is in fulfilling this religious duty, assigned to us by Abdu’l Baha, to know and understand the Bible, in a format that is welcoming and inspirational for Baha’is and friends of the faith alike. It is further intended to pursue Baha’u’llah’s repeated admonition to “consort freely with the followers of all religions” with specific focus on the Judeo Christian majority in the Western world. Participants will not only learn directly from the Word of God, but will gain valuable insights on how to apply what they are learning through the framework for action of the Baha’i Institute Process. The series will launched last month on February 23rd, with an introductory discussion on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, about which Abdu’l Baha said the following:
The Bible and the Gospels are most honored in the estimation of all Baha'is. One of the spiritual utterances of His Holiness Christ in his Sermon on the Mount is preferable to me to all the writings of the philosophers. It is the religious duty of every Baha'i to read and comprehend the meanings of the Old and New Testament. (Abdu'l-Baha, Star of the West, Vol. 14, p. 55)
