Making a vast new resource less daunting

Introduction

Baha’i scholar Stephen Phelps has in recent years undertaken a major cataloguing project that brings together publicly accessible works of the Bab, Baha’u’llah, and Abdu’l‑Baha. The work is titled A Partial Inventory of the Works of the Central Figures of the Baha’i Faith. It currently lists over 11,900 items attributed to Baha’u’llah, alongside thousands of works by the other two Central Figures.

In addition to the Inventory, Phelps has used artificial intelligence to generate partial or full translations of all the catalogued works. For readers, this means that they can now approach the Baha'i Revelation with a structured map.
