The objective of this course is to read the 166 selections from the Writings of Baha'u'llah chosen by Shoghi Effendi and first published in 1935. We will attempt to identify the principal and secondary themes in each of these selections, and to identify and explain vocabulary that needs definition in order for the text to be fully intelligible.
