Jump to: navigation, search

The Epistle to the Son of the Wolf is the last major work of Bahá'u'lláh before his death in 1892. It is a letter written to a Muslim cleric, a violent opponent of the Bahá'ís who, along with his father (called by Bahá'u'lláh "the wolf"), also a Muslim cleric, had put to death a number of Bahá'ís. This work is noteworthy, as within Bahá'u'lláh quotes extensively from his own previously revealed Tablets. This, in a sense, makes a large portion of the work a summary of excerpts on critical concepts expressed in previous works in a condensed form.
