Manner of revelation:

In the middle of the last century, one of the most notorious dungeons in the Near East was Teherans Black Pit.In this grim setting, the rarest and most cherished of religious events was once again played out: mortal man, outwardly human in other respects, was summoned by God to bring to humanity a new religious revelation. The year was 1852 Bah'u'llh received a vision of Gods will for humanity Bah'u'llhs experience in the Black Pit set in motion a process of religious revelation which, over the next 40 years, led to the production of thousands of books, tablets and letters which today form the core of the sacred scriptures of the Bah'i Faith. ^[50]

Unlike the teachings of Christ, for example, which were written down decades after they were uttered, the words of Bah'u'llh were recorded and authenticated at the time they were revealedall letters which arrived for Bah'u'llh were received by Mirza Aqa Jan [Bah'u'llhs personal secretary]. He would bring these into the presence of Bah'u'llh [who would] direct him to take up his pen and record the Tablet which was revealed in replySuch was the speed with which he used to write the revealed Word thatIt seemed as if someone had dipped a lock of hair in the ink and applied it over the whole pageAfter each period of Revelation, the original manuscript would be re-transcribed, with Bah'u'llh Himself overseeing and approving the final version. ^[51]
