Writings and Addresses
| |
1 |
The Writings of `Abdu'l-Bahá are very numerous and are
mostly in the form of letter to believers and inquirers. A great
many of His talks and addresses have also been recorded and
many have been published. Of the thousands of pilgrims who
have visited Him at Akká and Haifa a large number have
written descriptions of their impressions, and many of these
records are now available in printed form.

His teachings are thus very completely preserved, and they
cover a very wide range of subjects. With many of the problems
of both East and West He dealt more fully than His Father had
done, giving more detailed applications of the general principles
laid down by Bahá'u'lláh. A number of His Writings have
not yet been translated into any Western language but enough
is already available to give deep and full knowledge of the
more important principles of His teaching.

He spoke Persian, Arabic and Turkish. In His Western
tours His talks and addresses were always interpreted, obviously
losing much of their beauty, eloquence and force in the
process, yet such was the power of the Spirit which accompanied
His words that all who heard Him were impressed.
