The Ocean of His Words: A Reader's Guide to the Art of Bahá'u'lláh

by John S. Hatcher

A reader's guide to the art of Baha'u'llah, this second edition embraces the entire range of the Writings of Baha'u'llah. It is essential reading, not only for those who wish better to understand the art of Baha'u'llah, but also for those who wish better to understand the meaning of any scripture as that meaning is organically bound to the supremacy of its art. This sturdy work of scholarship is blessed with the special spark, which comes when thoughtful investigation is united with imaginative reflection.
