A collection of chapters written by different contributors -- all Western-trained academics, as far as I can tell -- about different aspects of Sufism. It is split into three sections: the earliest days, the medieval period, and modern Sufism. I especially enjoyed the chapters by Christopher Melchert ("Origins and Early Sufism"), Ahmet Karamustafa ("Antinomian Sufis"), Beverly Mack ("Nana Asma'u: Nineteenth-Century West African Sufi") and Knut Vikør ("Sufism and Colonialism"). Mack's and Vikør's chapters particularly grabbed my attention; I've really got to follow this up by reading more about Nana Asma'u specifically and West African Islam generally.

Sufism, the mystical or aesthetic doctrine in Islam, has occupied a very specific place in the Islamic tradition, with its own history, literature and devotional practices. Its development began in the seventh century and spread throughout the Islamic world. The Cambridge Companion to Sufism traces its evolution from the formative period to the present, addressing specific themes along the way within the context of the times. In a section discussing the early period, the devotional practices of the earliest Sufis are considered. The section on the medieval period, when Sufism was at its height, examines Sufi doctrines, different forms of mysticism and the antinomian expressions of Sufism. The section on the modern period explains the controversies that surrounded Sufism, the changes that took place in the colonial period and how Sufism transformed into a transnational movement in the twentieth century. This inimitable volume sheds light on a multifaceted and alternative aspect of Islamic history and religion. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
