Some Answered Questions

Some Answered Questions is a classic work of Bahá’í theology and philosophy, offering profound insights into spiritual, ethical, and metaphysical topics.

This volume is a collection of transcriptions of table talks given by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá—the son of Bahá’u’lláh and the appointed interpreter of His teachings—in ‘Akká between 1904 and 1906, in response to questions posed by Laura Dreyfus-Barney. These conversations explore a wide range of subjects, including the influence of the Founders of world religions, Biblical interpretation and Christian doctrine, the harmony of science and religion, the nature and powers of the Manifestations of God, and the origins and conditions of human beings.

Since its release, Some Answered Questions has been an authoritative repository of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s profound insight and an indispensable component of every Bahá’í library. Shoghi Effendi observed that the book expounds the basic beliefs of the Cause in a simple and clear language and regarded its content as essential for grasping the significance and implications of the Bahá’í Revelation. In Some Answered Questions, he wrote, one “will find the clue to all the perplexing questions that agitate the mind of man in his search after true knowledge. The more this Book is read with care and patience, the greater are its revelations, and the more complete the understanding of its inner truth and significance.” It is hoped that the new translation will assist future generations to access this inexhaustible mine “of knowledge regarding basic spiritual, ethical, and social problems”.

This audiobook reflects the revised English translation produced under the auspices of the Bahá’í World Centre and published in 2014, intended to make the depth and clarity of these conversations even more accessible to future generations.
