abstract	The Bahá'í principle of religious unity is unique among world religious traditions in that its primary basis is found within its own sacred texts and not in commentaries on those texts. The apparent differences among the world's religious traditions are explained by appealing to a perspectivist approach grounded in a process metaphysics. For this reason, the author characterizes the Bahá'í view as "process perspectivism". Radical pluralism is the greatest philosophical challenge to the Bahá'í principle of religious unity. The main criticisms made by radical pluralists are briefly examined.
