'''''The Arguments'''''
==Content==
▲'''The Arguments''' was a book on [[Roshar]] that appears to have been the doctrine of [[Vorinism]].{{book ref|twok|61}}
[[Adolin Kholin]] quotes ''The Arguments'' to Dalinar, who refers to the work as "scripture".{{book ref|sa1|24}} ''The Arguments'' may contain some historical or pseudohistorical information about human life on Roshar, as Adolin cites the book in reference to ongoing wars on Roshar since the time of the [[Tranquiline Halls]].{{book ref|sa1|24}} Vorin culture has certain rules about sex and romance,{{wob ref|1443}} and some of those rules may have originated in ''The Arguments''; [[Navani]] notes that the book does not forbid a marriage between a widow and her late husband's brother, although some devout Vorins maintain that such a relationship is inappropriate.{{book ref|sa1|61}}
==Importance in Vorinism==
[[Shallan]] recalls painting passages from ''The Arguments'' while growing up in [[Jah Keved]], reciting them repeatedly and committing them to memory before burning the paper.{{book ref|sa3|15}} Both Shallan and [[ardent]] [[Pai]] cite a lack of connection to ''The Arguments'' when questioning the devotion of the [[Alethi]].{{book ref|sa3|15}}{{book ref|sa2|i|12}}
