This third volume in the George Ronald Bahá'í Studies Series brings together the work of a number of outstanding international scholars of the Bábí and Bahá'í religions. A selection from papers presented at the first two Irfán Colloquia, the volume focuses on the theme of 'scripture and revelation' and considers such subjects as

• The Validity and Value of a Historical Critical Approach to the Revealed Works of Bahá'u'lláh
• Prophecy in the Johannine Farewell Discourse: The Advents of the Paraclete, Ahmad and Comforter (Mu'azzí)
• Daéná-Dén-Dín: The Zoroastrian Heritage of the 'Maid of Heaven' in the Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh
• The Love Relationship between God and Humanity: Reflections on Bahá'u'lláh's Hidden Words

Bahá'í Studies is a challenging series developed for students of the Bahá'í Faith and those teaching courses on the religion. Subjects to be covered by the series include the history and development of the religion, its sociology, theology and literature, as well as the religious, social and cultural contexts of its birth and growth.

Bahá'í Studies will be especially interesting to those with an academic interest in the Bahá'í Faith, those who wish to undertake a serious study of the religion and those who want to study it at a level deeper than is possible with introductory books. Libraries and academic institutions will find the series a particularly useful addition to their collections.
