selected quotations (authoritative sources)	These quotations reflect common presentations of Bahá’í views; the materials below may show a wider range of interpretations and contexts: "... The creative energies released by the Law of Bahá’u’lláh, permeating and evolving within the mind of ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá, have, by their very impact and close interaction, given birth to an Instrument which may be viewed as the Charter of the New World Order which is at once the glory and the promise of this most great Dispensation. The Will may thus be acclaimed as the inevitable offspring resulting from that mystic intercourse between Him Who communicated the generating influence of His divine Purpose and the One Who was its vehicle and chosen recipient. Being the Child of the Covenant—the Heir of both the Originator and the Interpreter of the Law of God—the Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá can no more be divorced from Him Who supplied the original and motivating impulse than from the One Who ultimately conceived it..." – Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Bahá'u'lláh: The Dispensation of Bahá'u'lláh, p. 144 "... He [`Abdu'l-Bahá] had been elevated to the high office of Center of Bahá’u’lláh’s Covenant... a position that was to empower Him ... to call into being, and delineate the features of, its Administrative Order, the Child of the Covenant, and the Harbinger of that World Order whose establishment must needs signalize the advent of the Golden Age of the Bahá’í Dispensation..." – Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By, p. 243
