Essays on ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

November 2021 marked one hundred years since the passing of 'Abdu'l-Bahá—also known as "The Mystery of God" and "the Master." This collection, comprising articles that span nearly a hundred years, focuses on that extraordinary Figure. "The observance of this anniversary," wrote the Universal House of Justice in November 2020, "will undoubtedly prompt individuals and communities alike to contemplate the significance of that infinitely poignant moment when He Who was the Mystery of God departed from this world.”
