The other issue emerges from the fact that—with a few prominent exceptions—the study of Baha’i is dominated by scholars who are Baha’is themselves. A scholar’s personal belief in Baha’u’llah as a manifestation of God, in principle, should be irrelevant to the quality and impartiality of his or her research. However, it is not irrelevant to the study of Baha’i that scholars who are also Baha’is are obliged to submit their work for preview. This problem and its possible academic consequences are worth discussing.
