This book is in best condition. In fact, I cannot believe that it is used. It looks as good as new.

This book, The Teachings of Sufism, by Carl Ernst PhD, is apparently intended for an academically oriented reader.

This review is from: Teachings of Sufism (Paperback)
This book, The Teachings of Sufism, by Carl Ernst PhD, is apparently intended for an academically oriented reader. The book is objective to the point that I gave up on reading it carefully, since the spiritual component seems to be absent.
I wound up skimming through most of the book for this reason. As my intention was to deepen my understanding of Sufism, I was very disappointed. I was therefore not surprised when I looked up the author's background, and discovered that he is a professor at a state sponsored university, and apparently a department head at that! I have come to realize that a person of such stature is not in a position to help me understand Sufism. Me, in my ignorance, I am able to understand at least that much! Seriously though, I found this book to be rather ponderous and dry. I am sure everything he says is true. It is just not what I'm looking for. |
