"The term was first used by Baha'u'llah in the following quote and expanded in the second quote from Kitab-i-Aqdas footnotes:
<snip> ... And when this process of progressive Revelation culminated in the stage at which His peerless, His most sacred, and exalted Countenance was to be unveiled to men's eyes, Dear Sandra, We talked about that passage a few months ago. The phrase translated as Progressive Revelation here is IDHA BLAGHA AL-AMR which I think more literally would be translated as "this delivery of the Cause". It was the Guardian who first introduced the term "Progressive Revelation" into Baha'i theology and he in turn, seems to have gotten it from Christian theology. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
