Divine Love: Islamic Literature and the Path to God
- Used Book in Good Condition
The very heart of the Islamic tradition is love; no other word adequately captures the quest for transformation that lies at this traditionâ€™s center. So argues esteemed professor of medieval Islam William C. Chittick in this survey of the extensive Arabic and Persian literature on topics ranging from the Qurâ€™an up through the twelfth century. Bringing to light extensive foundational Persian sources never before presented, Chittick draws on more than a thousand pages of newly translated material to depict the rich prose literature at the center of Islamic thought.
