The Journal of Bahá’í Studies

As the common inheritance of all of humanity, the Writings invite us each to delve into them, to study and reflect on them alone and in community, and to generously share what we find, ever ready to adapt our understanding to accommodate the insights of others when we find them valuable. And just as the broadening of the scientific enterprise to, in some measure, include all people in no way detracts from the unique capacity and contributions of highly trained professional scientists, our individual and collective study of the Word of God does not lessen our appreciation for the learned contributions of scholars of the Writings.
