5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritual Insight, regardless of your Religion, March 14, 2003

This review is from: Some Answered Questions (Paperback)

I've been interested in the Baha'i faith for a long time, and this book takes the cake as one of my favorite Baha'i books. It is essentially Abdul Baha explaining to a student of his certain key questions, from the importance of nature, to connections to Christianity. He even mentions workers rights, and many topics relating to the early 20th century. This book as a religious text seems slightly odd, because most of the concepts aren't to foreign and can directly be applied to a person living an Euro-American lifestyle. All this, and I'm not even an actual Baha'i.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful to Those Seeking a New View of Spiritual Reality, June 24, 2002

By 

John M. Gruda (Detroit, MI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Some Answered Questions (Hardcover)

Some Answered Questions by Abdu'l Baha is a master work of questions put to Abdu'l Baha, son of Baha'u'llah, founder of the Baha'i Faith. Abdu'l Baha was the successor of his Father's faith and the authorized exponent of his teachings. These questions were put to him by one of his French followers. They are a lively array of topics: Biblical prophecy, comparative religion and scripture, social issues, Baha'i perspective on traditonal Christian topics, spiritual psychology, man's development, etc. This incredible array of topics is so amazing that few will find it hard to believe that Abdu'l Baha was a prisoner of the Ottoman Empire most of his life, suffering alongside his father, Baha'u'llah. Abdu'l Baha was eventually freed during the Turkish revolution, allowing Abdu'l Baha to speak in Western countries, including the United States and Europe. These questions and answers are bound to stimulate your thinking and enlighten you as many spritual mysteries are made clear to you. I strongly recommend this book to all seekers after deep spiritual reality, students of comparative religion and scripture, Biblical students, and students of the Baha'i Faith. It is wonderful book which will get you thinking and provoke you about spiritual subjects for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book-Must Read, November 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Some Answered Questions (Paperback)

Some Answered Questions is an excellent book. For me it provided many answers to my questions concerning such things as, Life After Death, the Nature of the Soul, and Biblical Prophesies. The reason and logic made a lot of sense.
