Some Answered Questions

Some Answered Questions by Abdu’l-Bahá ‘Abbás invites listeners into a calm, authoritative dialogue that illuminates central concerns of faith and reason. Compiled from conversations held with Laura Clifford Barney in Haifa between 1904 and 1906 and first published in 1908, this seminal work of religion captures Abdu’l-Bahá’s patient explanations of scripture, theology, and philosophy. Through a series of accessible answers, the text explores the nature of God and the role of the Prophets, offers interpretive readings of Christian passages—including analyses of Revelation, Isaiah, and Genesis—and engages modern questions about evolution, the soul, immortality, fate and free will, healing, the problem of evil, and reincarnation. The tone is conciliatory and scholarly, blending Baháʼí perspectives with comparative insights that bridge ancient texts and contemporary thought. Historical context and the conversational format make complex doctrines approachable without doctrinal jargon. Ideal for listeners interested in the Baháʼí Faith, students of comparative religion, or anyone seeking thoughtful reflections on spirituality and science, this audiobook delivers clear, compassionate guidance and a historically important voice for seekers of deeper understanding.
