Sufi Reflections

by Bill Whitehouse

The fifty-three chapters (not counting five appendices) which make up the main body of this book encompass lectures, articles, and letters/e-mails written over a period of about eleven years (from about 1998 through 2009). The material covers a variety of thematic topics both within Islam, in general, as well as with respect to its mystical dimension of tasawwuf - known in the West as 'the Sufi path' or 'sufism' - in particular. Taken collectively, the chapters and appendices provide a very good introduction to both the Sufi path and Islam. This Kindle edition is equivalent to 553 pages of a 6 by 9 real world book. Dr. Whitehouse received an honors B.A. in Social Relations from Harvard University, as well as a doctorate in Educational Theory from the University of Toronto. He has been exploring the Sufi path for 35 years and has given lectures on various aspects of the Sufi mystical tradition in Canada, England, and the United States.
