- Todd Smith, Michael Karlberg. Articulating a Consultative Epistemology: Toward a Reconciliation of Truth and Relativism (2009). Epistemology has a perennial tension between two contrasting approaches to knowledge: the search for foundational truth vs. the relativity of truth. Consultation can help resolve paradoxical truth claims to develop an integrative approach to knowledge.
- William S. Hatcher. Epistemological Implications of the Gradated Claims to Divine Authority in the Bahá'í Writings: Reflections on Infallibility (2007). There are different levels of infallibility, from the greater (the Manifestations who are "omniscient at will") to the lesser (like the Guardian, who has conferred freedom-from-error).
- Mikhail Sergeev. Epistemological Views of 'Abdu'l-Baha (2009-08-14). A comprehensive reconstruction of Abdu’l-Bahá's epistemological views that are scattered throughout many of his writings and utterances.
- Jack McLean. Knowledge of God, The: An Essay on Bahá'í Epistemology (1978 Spring). Knowledge of the divine is the beginning of all things. This can come through the investigative faculty, the path of reason, or through intuition and mysticism, the path of the heart.
- Mahyad Zaerpoor Rahnamaie. Minimalism from a Bahá'í Perspective (2007). Minimalism accepts the objective reality outside human perception but may go beyond the reductionism of scientific objectivity. This is relevant to the Bahá’ís, as they favour a perspective in which reality is treated as a unified whole.
