Volume 3

'Akk: The Early Years: 1868-77

From behind the walls of the Most Great Prison, Baha'u'llah addressed His majestic summons to the rulers of the world. Here he submitted to the tragic death of His beloved son, Mrza Mihdi, the Purest Branch, and here, in the house of 'Udi Khammar He revealed His Most Holy Book, the Kitab-i-Aqdas.

In this third volume of his survey of the Writings of Baha'u'llah, Adib Taherzadeh gives us new and fascinating insights into the works revealed during, and the events of, this period. Five chapters alone are devoted to the themes of the Kitab-i-Aqdas, while other important works examined include the Suriy-i-Haykal, the Tablets to the kings and rulers, the Lawh-i-Fu'ad and the Fire Tablet. And then there are the heart-warming stories of Baha'u'llah and His Family, of His companions, of His exile and of those who came as pilgrims, the stories of Badi', of Mrza Abu'l-Fadl, of Haji Amin . . . and much, much more.
