It seems especially appropriate, as Baha'u'llah's influence penetrates ever more deeply the life of the larger society throughout the world, that the full texts of these great Tablets should now be available for a broad readership. We express to the committees who were commissioned to undertake and review these translations the deep gratitude we feel for the care and sensitivity they have brought to the task. Baha'is will recognize key passages from several of the Tablets that were introduced to the West by Shoghi Effendi. His translations into English of the Baha'i Holy Texts provide an enduring standard for the efforts of those who rise to the challenge of preparing appropriate renderings into English of these treasures of the Faith. |
