The method of instruction you have devised, namely, to begin
by proving the existence and oneness of God, the Lord of Eternity, then to
establish the validity of the mission proclaimed by the prophets and
messengers, and finally to explain the signs, the marvels and wonders of the
universe, is highly acceptable and you should proceed accordingly.
Confirmations from the Lord of Glory will assuredly be vouchsafed. Memorizing
the texts of the holy Tablets, and of perspicuous words and statements is
highly praiseworthy. You should exert the utmost endeavour in your efforts to
educate, to expound, and to instruct. (Abdu'l-Bahá, from a Tablet, The
Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, The Importance of Deepening Our Knowledge
and Understanding of the Faith)
