The book comprises 286 Tablets in German, with about 110 are shown in Persian as well, and more than 100 in English. There is an elaborated list of names having had received such a Tablet with the date identified plus an index (in German). The dates provide an evidence when someone heard about the Faith first time, and in most cases as well, when s/he considered her-/himself to be a Bahá'í as such thing as enrollment did not exist at that time. There is also a graphic showing the numbers of Tablets per month over the years. (see down below). Studying the letters provides the reader with a very interesting narrative of the German Bahá'í Faith history.
The 100th anniversary of the passing of 'Abdu'l-Baha is a good time to compile His Epistle to the German-speaking Baha'i community. The collection includes all letters from 16 sources. The historical translations into German as well as all available originals in Farsi and the English translations are reproduced
