The House of
Justice is fully committed to fostering the development of Bahá’í scholarly
activity in all parts of the Bahá’í world. Through their scholarly endeavours
believers are able to enrich the intellectual life of the Bahá’í community, to
explore new insights into the Bahá’í teachings and their relevance to the needs
of society, and to attract the investigation of the Faith by thoughtful people
from all backgrounds. Far from being a diversion from the worldwide effort to
advance the process of entry by troops, Bahá’í scholarship can be a powerful
reinforcement to that endeavour and a valuable source of new enquirers.
