Description
-
This book is a collection of expository essays promoting Baha’i perspectives particularly on cultural progression through the unity of science and religion. Baha’is acknowledge the spiritual truth and guidance provided by religion as it has progressed throughout the cultural evolution of humanity. The current requirements for global culture include acknowledging that religion and science are as integral to each other as the human spirit is integral to the faculties of language and reasoning. Arguments are qualitative and evidence-based speculation from my personal experiences and understandings. The intent is to demonstrate perspectives and values that encourage solutions based on reason, evidence (including the evidence of testimony), critical review, and the individual pursuit of truth. Extensive quotes from other authors’ works are included to weave a fabric of voices relevant to that intent. My commentaries on those quotations are not understood by me as definitive, particularly those on scripture. They are simply my thoughts on those quotes as they relate to aspects of the general themes of this work.
