| Summary, etc. |
Laura Clifford Barney, the translator and compiler, visited `Abdu'l-Bahá in the Holy Land between 1904 and 1906, putting to him a variety of questions on Christian, philosophical and doctrinal subjects. The answers, which `Abdu'l-Bahá gave "in my tired moments", make one of the unique volumes of scripture in the corpus of the world's religious literature. Some passages quoted from Baha'u'llah have been changed to reflect authorized translations. Clarifying notes have been added.<br/><br/> |
