Central to Bahá’u’lláh’s writings is an exposition of the
great themes which have preoccupied religious thinkers throughout the ages:
God, the role of Revelation in history, the relationship of the world’s
religious systems to one another, the meaning of faith, and the basis of moral
authority in the organization of human society. Passages in these texts speak
intimately of His own spiritual experience, of His response to the Divine
summons, and of the dialogue with the “Spirit of God” which lay at the heart of
His mission. Religious history has never before offered the inquirer the
opportunity for so candid an encounter with the phenomenon of Divine
Revelation.
