Chronicle In Favor Of Books The Kitáb-i-Íqán: The Book of Certitude
The Book of Certitude, by BahC!'u'llC!h, author of the BahC!'C- Revelation, is arguably one of the most important scriptural works in all of religious history. In it Baha'u'llah explains the underlying unity of the world's religions, describes the universality of the revelations humankind has received from the Prophets of God, explains their fundamental teachings, and elucidates allegorical passages from the New Testament and the Qur'C!n that have given rise to misunderstandings among religious leaders, practitioners, and the public. Written in the span of two days and two nights, The Book of Certitude is, in the words of its translator, Shoghi Effendi, the most important book written on the spiritual significance of the BahC!'C- Faith.Describe Books To The Kitáb-i-Íqán: The Book of Certitude

It's difficult to review a primary religious text. I can, however, attempt to give a taste of what the Kitab-i-Iqan seems to be about, from my perspective.Bahá'u'lláh is attempting to found a new, syncretic religion that embraces the Abrahamic lineage. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, he claims, are all reflections of a single godhead, manifesting from time to time when necessary to stoke the flames of faith. Naturally, he claims that the Bahá'í Faith is the next step in this sequence.Consider
An enigmatic book written by the founder of the Baha'i faith, it claims to reveal symbolic meanings for theological concepts common to many of the Abrahamic religions. It also describes one of the key tenets of the Baha'is, namely that the founders of the major religions were all "manifestations of God" sent to facilitate the spiritual evolution of humanity. The audience for the book was mainly Islamic, so most of the scriptures cited are pertinent to Shi'a Islam, though it also cites some
A lot of that went over my head. I need to study this one.
This is perhaps one of the most influential books I have read in my life. It explains the Baha'i concept of progressive revelation and why religious leaders tend not to accept Prophets and religions coming after the advent of the ones they represent. Although originally written to an Islamic audience, the book contains much material on Christianity and should be interesting to Christians as well. This book is considered one of the preeminent books of the Baha'i Faith and was the one that led me
Who am I to rate the Word of God.
This book sets forth the Baha'i theology of progressive revelation. It also serves as exegesis of the Koran. I think next time I'll read both books at the same time.
