| 'Abdu'l-Bahá's published teachings fall into two categories: translations of writings and transcriptions of talks. All of the former are considered authentic. The latter may contain errors, and so they carry slightly less authority. An exception is Some Answered Questions, the notes for which 'Abdu'l-Bahá personally proofread. The following list of his major writings published in English is divided between these two categories. Works that are short, old, or unavailable have been excluded. This list is culled, with permission, from William Collins, Bibliography of English-Language Works on the Bábí and Bahá'í Faiths 1844-1985, Oxford: George Ronald, 1990. Length may vary with different editions; page numbers are included merely to give the reader an idea of the size of the work. Multiple editions from different publishing houses are not listed. |
