Baha'u'llah & the New Era 2006 by -J. Esslemont- 1 Para

The unique and distinguishing feature of the Baha'i Faith is the Covenant of Baha'u'llah, the bedrock upon which the Faith raises all its structures and bases its development. Its uniqueness is that for the first time in religious history the Manifestation of God, in clear and unambiguous language, provides for the authorized interpretation of His Word, and ensures the continuity of the divinely appointed authority which flows from the Source of the Faith (180:8)
