Very nice (but short) collections of sayings of Jesus form the Sufi Islamic tradition. Comparative religious studies are of immense interest to me, so it was nice to have this collection handy, as opposed to reading volumes of Sufi Texts searching for references to Christianity and Christ. Not that there’s anything bad with reading large volumes of Sufism it’s just very time consuming

If you don't read Arabic, all of the sayings about Jesus in Islamic literature are largely beyond you except for collections of the sayings in volumes like this.

A little too Fundamentalist for me. Did not continue to read very far at all.
