abstract	“From a comparative perspective, one could point to a few other documented examples of lengthy books created by rapid dictations that made claims to supernatural origins, such as Bahá’u’lláh’s Kitáb-i-Íqán (1882), a two hundred-page Bahá’í scripture dictated two days and two nights. . . .” p.747 The Iqán was revealed in 1861, so the 1882 date does not refer to the date of revelation. “The Book of Mormon was probably the first addition to the library of world scriptures after the Sikh Adi Granth, completed in 1604, and while it is not the last – Bahá’í and Tenrikyo revelations also fit the criteria – it has been one of the most successful.” p. 824. “This reliance on the authority of previous scripture is even more pronounced than in the New Testament, which regularly cites passages from the Hebrew Bible as prooftexts, or the frequent quotations of Quranic verses in the Kitáb-i-Íqán (Book of Certitude) of the Bahá’ís.” p.825
