"The Knowledge Game" and the Bahá'í Faith:

Abstract: In the 21st century, the development of religion cannot avoid engagement with a fundamental dual question: What does the Revelation have to contribute to the modern system of knowledge, its main branches of knowledge, and its academic disciplines and, vice versa, to what extent does the understanding of the Revelation depend on the modern system of knowledge? Such a problematique constitutes an essential part of what I prefer to refer to as “the knowledge game” of religion. In our case, this knowledge game spans the positionings assumed by the Bahá’í Faith in the field of knowledge and the processes and intellectual contributions resulting therefrom.
