The House of Justice is fully committed to fostering the
development of Bahá’í scholarly activity in all parts of the Bahá’í world.
Through their scholarly endeavours believers are able to enrich the
intellectual life of the Bahá’í community, to explore new insights into the
Bahá’í teachings and their relevance to the needs of society, and to attract
the investigation of the Faith by thoughtful people from all backgrounds. Far
from being a diversion from the worldwide effort to advance the process of
entry by troops, Bahá’í scholarship can be a powerful reinforcement to that
endeavour and a valuable source of new enquirers.

House of Justice)
