‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s other works. His Will and Testament, written in three sections, provides the authority for the Administrative Order of the Bahá’í Faith and ensures its integrity and unity. The Secret of Divine Civilization is a treatise on the general state of modern civilization. A Traveller’s Narrative chronicals the early history of the Bábí and Bahá’í Faiths. Memorials of the Faithful contains ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s remembrances of seventy-nine early Bahá’ís, all bound by their love for Bahá’u’lláh. Only Some Answered Questions, shaped as it is from questions put to Him over meals, affords the reader essays on a varietyof themes—each of which can be read either at one sitting as an individual topic for study and reflection, or as part of a whole that emerges from the collection of talks. Most of the talks are short. All bear the marks of conversation. All use lucid, concrete illustrations to clarify difficult topics. Humor relieves the serious. At every turn a “brilliant simplicity,” “persuasiveness,” and “force” illuminate the fundamentals and the fine points of Bahá’í belief.
