This was probably the right choice. it's been identified as "The
Kit=EF=BF=BDb-i-Aqdas...a central book of the Bah=EF=BF=BD'=EF=BF=BD Faith
w=
ritten by
Bah=EF=BF=BDu'll=EF=BF=BDh, the founder of the religion."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit%C3%A1b-i-Aqdas
"According to Bah=EF=BF=BD'=EF=BF=BD teachings, religious history has
unfold=
ed through
a series of God's messengers who brought teachings suited for the
capacity of the people at their time, and whose fundamental purpose is
the same. Bah=EF=BF=BDu'll=EF=BF=BDh is regarded as the most recent, but
not=
final, in
a line of messengers that includes Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha,
Krishna, Jesus, Muhammad and others...
Though inaccessible directly, God is nevertheless seen as conscious of
his creation, with a will and purpose. In Bah=EF=BF=BD'=EF=BF=BD belief,
God=
expresses
this will in many ways, including through a series of divine
messengers referred to as Manifestations of God or sometimes divine
educators. In expressing God's intent, these manifestations are seen
to establish religion in the world and to enable a relation****p with
God.
Bah=EF=BF=BD'=EF=BF=BD teachings state that God is too great for humans to
f=
ully
comprehend, or to create a complete and accurate image, by themselves;
human understanding of God is through his revelation via his
Manifestations of God...
=2E..the harmony which must exist between religion and science..."
