From Rumi's whirling dervishes in Turkey over 700 years ago, to circles of silent mystics in the West today, this book reveals the history and practices of Sufism, the ancient but still active system of Islamic mysticism which has long been the spiritual current in Islam that counterbalances fundamentalism. Eric Geoffroy is an authority on Sufism, and he shows us this increasingly popular contemplative dimension of Islam, which is little understood in the West.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book,
By Amir Arsalan Midhat (Izmir, Turkey, Boston, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Sufism: The Inner Path of Islam (Perennial Philosophy) (Kindle Edition)
This book is perfect for both the new adept and the master. The explanation of Sufism as related to mainstream Islam gave me a clear idea of the development of Sufism. I enjoyed reading this book and I recommend it without hesitation.
