The Writings and Addresses of 'Abdu'l-Bahá
“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.”
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.

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.
