Bahá’í Thinking
Here’s a site created by a Bahá’í in the Netherlands called Bahá’í Thinking that presents an his personal overview of nine topics that he was often questioned about in relation to the Bahá’í Faith.
Bahá’í Thinking is my personal response to nine questions which were often posed to me: Bahá’í? - Utopia? - Religion? - God? - Revelation? - Bahá’u'lláh? - Man? - Death? - Coincidences? All my answers are based upon my perception of the Writings which are provided by the youngest Revelation from God. In each chapter quotations from those Words are given. For official sources on the Bahá’í Faith the reader may refer to the authoritative sites listed in the “Tools” section.
The selected links to other websites are like the doors to elevators, stairways, floors and rooms of the treasures house of a worldwide spiritual miracle. That I have discovered it, I am grateful to heaven. Fortunately for me friends have encouraged me to pick up my pen again after I had laid it down.
It’s a bit difficult to navigate since the top set of links aren’t labeled, so you don’t know where you’re going until you get there, but its sections include a general introduction to Bahá’í Faith and Bahá’u'lláh, as well as sections on more general topics, like religion, God, how God speaks to humanity, human nature, and life after death. There are also discussions of topics that a little more tangential, but may be interesting to some: coincidences and utopia.
(This site is actually a translation, so some of you may prefer the original Dutch version.)

Interesting, because I found the idea of the top set of squares from which to navigate kind of cool. They look like the suspension points after Baha’i Thinking….
In any case another beautiful site created by René Steiner and his steinergraphics.com, I think that almost half of the European (at least) national Bahai websites are his creation. e.g. http://www.bahai.nl or http://www.bahai.ch or our own http://www.ebbf.org.
Actually looking at the various Bahai national sites it is quite interesting to see the wildly different approaches that each NSA has taken: http://www.bahai.es, http://www.bahai.org.uk, http://www.bahai.de, http://www.bahai.lu, http://www.bahai.hu, http://www.bahai.fr, http://www.bahai.it.
