Question – Are the Baha’i Teachings summed up in 12 (or 11 or 13 or 14) Principles of the Baha’i Faith?

The “Principles” were first called the “Foundations of World Unity” and they were never put forth as the summon bonum of Baha’i beliefs,nor basic Baha’i beliefs. They were compiled as “Foundations” to present to world peace clubs and race unity clubs, to find common ground with them, so that Baha’is could speak at such meetings, and to talk to others about the Faith.
