- Synopsis
- The Sufi tradition, commonly associated with the Whirling Dervishes and beautiful poetry of the great mystic Rumi, is introduced here in this new guide. William C. Chittick, the leading scholar in this field, offers a compelling insight into the origins, context, and key themes of this movement. After a general overview of the tradition, he draws upon the words of some of the greatest Sufi writers to give a fresh and revealing perspective on the teaching and beliefs of Sufism and its proponents.
