al-Kitab al-Aqdas, or The Most Holy Book
Material type:
TextAbstract: The first published full translation of Bahá'u'lláh's Most Holy Book, the repository of the laws and ordinances of the Baha'i dispensation. This version is an unpoetic, dry rendering of Bahá'u'lláh's major work by two Protestant missionaries whose purpose is largely polemical. The authoritative translations by Shoghi Effendi of a large number of passages from this volume, wherein he captures the beauty of Bahá'u'lláh's words, are included in item 6.54.
