Pressestimmen
'The discussion of Sufi aims, psychology, doctrine and method is original (many previously untranslated texts are cited), sensitive and readable. The mood of Sufism is conveyed here with a clarity that is rare, even unique, yet is done in a responsible, non-proselytizing manner.' Review of Books and Religion. 'It is an invaluable contribution to the study of the subject and may well become a standard textbook...Highly recommended.' Choice. 'He has treated all the most important features of Sufism with a degree of profundity and understanding rarely to be found among modern writers.' Religion.
