First  it draws from a broad and authoritative well of sources  especially in the domain of Sufism  or Islamic mysticism. The scholarship is impeccable. Second  it is an in-depth meditation on the relationship between love and knowledge  multiplicity and unity  the example of the Prophet Muhammed viewed as Universal Man  spiritual union  heart and intellect  and other related themes--conveyed in fresh  contemporary language.  The book is as much a work of Sufism as it is a book about Sufism. Many of these themes have a universal appeal for students of mysticism; consequently  there are distinct resonances with other traditions  especially within certain schools of Christian mysticism dominated by the language of love.  In our day  when the divisions between many Muslims and many Christians have broadened into chasms of suspicion and fear  books such as this one are especially important for the help they can offer in bridging these rifts. The capacity of scholars to understand these two religions  which stem from the same Abrahamic source  is of the utmost significance  and the best approach to better understanding may be through the mystical traditions  which tend to reflect more tolerance and to recognize a potential for seeing unity in a multiplicity of perspectives. This work conveys the beauty at the heart of the Islamic tradition in a language devoid of technical terminology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960532066357,"sku":"ByrdShop_0823227510","price":60.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780823227518.jpg?v=1788290020","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/on-love-in-the-muslim-tradition-abrahamic-dialogues-9780823227518","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
