The `Irfan Colloquia
The 1999 sessions of the `Irfan Colloquia (in Persian and English) are listed below. Each session consists of two parts: (1) a colloquium for presentation of research papers; and (2) a seminar on Baha'u'llah's revelation. The main themes of the colloquia will be "World Religions and the Baha'i Faith" and "Principles of the Baha'i Belief System or Baha'i Theology."
The series of annual seminars were organized, starting the first year of the Four Year Plan, for the study of the writings of Baha'u'llah. In 1999, the seminars will be devoted to tablets revealed in the early `Akka period (1868-84). The Kitab-i-Aqdas, Questions and Answers, the tablets addressed to the kings and rulers, the tablets of Ridvanu'l-Adl, Ru'ya, Hikmat, Burhan, Ard-i-Ba, Hirtik, Ihtiraq, Manikji, Tibb, Ahbab, Ittihad, Aqdas, Laylatu'l-Quds, Istintaq, and the Sūriy-i-Haykal will be discussed at the seminar.
In 1999 a new series of `Irfan Colloquia will begin at Bosch Baha'i School in California. The seminar at the Bosch session will be devoted to Baha'u'llah's revelation in the Tehran-Baghdad period (1853-63). Presentations are planned on the Kitab-i-Iqan, the Hidden Words, the Seven Valleys, the Four Valleys, the Javahiru'l-Asrar (Jewels of Mysteries), the Varqa'iyyih Ode, the tablets of the Maiden of Heaven, Shikar Shikan, Bulbul-i-Faraq, Kullu't-Ta'am (All Food), Hurūfat-i-`Aliyyin, Shattiyyih, the Holy Mariner, Maryam, Madinatu't-Tawhid, and Madinatu'r-Rida.
