A wide range of questions and answers compiled from a series of talks given by 'Abdu'l-Bah� in 1904, 1905, and 1906 while at the supper table. The answers were given in reply to questions posed by visiting pilgrims, especially Laura Clifford Barney. Later these answers recorded in Persian were translated into French and English. They constitute a rich source of philosophical and spiritual wisdom with answers that often bypass conundrums or controversies which have limited debate for many centuries. Treating human subjects and human spiritual destiny as well as the nature of creation as inseparable, these answers altogether represent a vision which surpasses any given in the past and which will inform and balance the thought of much intellectual and spiritual life in the future.

About the Author

Abdul-Baha, meaning in Arabic "Servant of the Glory," was the title assumed by 'Abbas Effendi (1844 1921), the eldest son and appointed successor of Bahaullah, the Prophet and Founder of the Bahai Faith. A prisoner since the age of nine, Abdul-Baha shared a lifetime of imprisonment and exile with his father at the hands of the Ottoman Empire. He spent his entire life in tireless service to, and promotion of, Bahaullah's teachings.
