The Sufi Path of Love - The Spiritual Teachings of Rumi by William C. Chittick

I consider this work to be of great importance in the field of Islamics in particular and of the humanities in general. It is superbly conceived and guides the reader through the theory, practice, and mystical realization of Rumi's thinking...I can think of no better way for a Westerner, and nowadays for a Westernized Muslim, to get to know the deeper aspects of the Islamic faith than through a work such as this. As far as I am aware of, it is the first work of its kind, providing the reader with a complete exposition of Rumi's fundamental notions through Rumi's own words. No one else has done this with the thoroughness and meticulousness shown by Chittick." -- Victor Danner, Indiana University Paperback ‎448 pages ISBN-10 ‎0873957245 ISBN-13 ‎978-0873957243 Condition: Used (May have some writing/highlighting.)
