Format:Paperback
This is an outstanding overview of the philosophy of Rumi and Sufism generally. It shows how Rumi's views are consistent with other thinkers such as Ibn Arabi. It is excellent on Sufi concepts of Shahadah, the relation between Shariah and Tariqah, theodicy or the question of evil, the universal man and the fallen man, the union with God and the Nafs or ego-carnal self which prevents man from seeing his true nature. The pictures are beautiful and include illustrations from Rumi's life. Chittick was a student of Seyyed Hossein Nasr who writes the introduction.

A beautiful first book of introduction to the heart--and soul--of Sufism, from an authority. We purchased two copies; one to keep, to replace an earlier gift giving.
