The Roman Catholic Church is the largest religious institution in the world with approx. 1.3 billion Catholics world-wide. Although Roman Catholicism seems to be a single unified belief system, not all Catholics believe the same things or act in the same way. Regardless, all Roman Catholics feel connected to their church's traditions and rituals. Unfortunately, the church of Rome does not hold the Bible as the highest authority or teach that salvation comes by faith alone.

Am 31. Oktober 2017 jährt sich zum 500. Mal der Thesenanschlag Martin Luthers an die Tür der Schlosskirche zu Wittenberg. Dieses Ereignis und sein gewaltiger Nachhall fordern nicht nur die Katholische Kirche, sondern auch alle anderen am Dialog beteiligten Personen und Gruppen heraus, ihren je eigenen Beitrag zur Erinnerungskultur des Reformationszubiläums beizusteuern. Dass ein solcher Beitrag aus den Reihen der Bahá'í-Gemeinde kommt, mag zunächst überraschen, denn lange Zeit war das Verhältnis der Evangelischen Kirchen zur Bahá'í-Gemeinde eisig und von aggressiver Apologetik begleitet.

The Third Book of the Maccabees is recognized as Deuterocanonical Scripture by the Greek and Russian Orthodox Churches. It is also included in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. It is considered to be apocrypha by most other church traditions. It tells the story of persecution of the Jews under Pharaoh Ptolemy IV Philopater (222–205 BC) whose plans to annihilate the Jews in Egypt are thwarted by God. This was some decades before the Maccabee uprising in Judea, as chronicled in 1 and 2 Maccabees.

These methods frustrate us and keep us from experiencing victory and deliverance.
