The Baha'i Studies Listserv I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.
Publications of Baha'i Sacred Writings in their original languages have always been coming out, they are coming out constantly, and they are available online as well for all to see, read, analyze, and study. On Thu 10/01/09 3:09 AM , David Friedman david_friedman1...@hotmail.com sent: The Baha'i Studies Listserv I just thought of something else on this issue. Okay, so what I am told is that the House has said nothing to indicate they mind Baha'is accessing untranslated texts. But I wonder about this. The House clearly has no interest in having Baha'i bookshops sell 'the rest of the Writings' meaning Persian and Arabic works not yet translated into English. The fact that Baha'i bookshops don't sell parts of the Writings currently only in the original languages suggests the House is against the idea, so why? Because it's unfair for those who don't speak the languages? I presume the floodgates would open for Baha'i Studies if those texts were easily accessible but it seems nearly all Baha'i scholars have yet to see a lot of what's in the Writings.
