Bahá'í References to Judaism, Christianity, and Islám : with other materials for the study of progressive revelation
James Heggie
Bahá'í References to Judaism, Christianity, and Islám : with other materials for the study of progressive revelation - Oxford George Ronald 1986 - xi, 260 pages ; 24 cm
Selections of the Bahá'í writings relating to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Selected from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, the Báb, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi, this book offers material for a comprehensive study of the Old and New Testaments and the Qur’án, from the Bahá’í point of view. The religions of the world have in the past generally been looked upon as unconnected and even antagonistic towards each other; by contrast, Bahá’ís see religion as evolutionary, a progressive revelation of God to Man. The idea of progressive revelation is a new principle which has been expounded in the Bahá’í Writings, and which provides the key to a universal understanding of the Scriptures of all Faiths. The quotations presented here, taken together, are a commentary on nearly 6000 years of human efforts to understand God’s purpose for man; they are a study of recorded religious history based on the Writings and Teachings of the Manifestation of God for this age, Bahá’u’lláh, the Promised One of all Faiths.
