Unveiling the Huri of Love

by John S. Hatcher

Abstract: As ordinary human beings, most of us are acquainted with the issues that science and religion must resolve to become reconciled in their mutually exclusive descriptions of reality. As Bahá’ís, we are privileged to have been made aware of the fundamental questions and answers relating to the interplay between these twin expressions of reality. As Bahá’í scholars, we are obliged to help discover and forge pathways from these essential questions to the foundational answers so that all may come to understand how physical and metaphysical aspects of reality are, when correctly understood, exact counterparts of each other.
