Bahá’í Scriptures
Bahá’í Scriptures: Selections from the Utterances of Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’ was a compilation of English translations of Tablets revealed by Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá edited by Horace Holley and published by Brentano’s, Inc. in 1923.
According to a pilgrims note in 1932 Shoghi Effendi noted that this compilation was published without his knowledge and that it contained many errors, such as failing to indicate when Writings of Bahá’u’lláh were a collection of excerpts rather than one whole text.[1] The compilation Bahá'í World Faith published in 1943 contains new translations of many of the Tablets published in Bahá’í Scriptures, and superseded it.[2] Some of the Tablets in the eighth chapter, Loom of Reality, were from ‘Abdu’l-Bahá to individual western Bahá’ís and have not been published elsewhere.
