The Splendour of God

The Splendour of God by Eric Hammond is a book first published in 1909. Part of the Wisdom of the East series, this is a short introduction to the Baha'i religion. It includes short but profound texts by the founders of the religion, including the Bab, Baha'u'llh and Abdul Baha (also known as Abbas Effendi). It also includes a longer text, The Seven Valleys an allegorical tale that follows the path of the soul on a spiritual journey passing through different stages, from this world to other realms which are closer to God.
