This work represents the latest publication, in English, of papers presented at the 2003 Irfan Colloquia and Seminars for the purpose of presenting studies grounded on the writings of the Baha'i Faith. Although these ten papers are scholarly in nature, they are written for presentation, and are therefore highly accessible and engaging. This reference also includes an elucidation on the exact number of the Letters of the Living and the source of the confusion.
