Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a fascinating look at the secretive Druze religion, a syncretic faith combining elements of Islam, Christianity, and ancient Gnosticism that emerged in 11th-century Egypt. Today, the faith's adherents remain largely unknown in the West, practicing their rituals in clandestine gatherings. The author seeks to illuminate their beliefs, which include reincarnation, the veneration of a divine caliph, and the idea that their souls will return to live in China after death. The Druze have long expected their messiah to return and establish a new world order. Adding to the book's intrigue, the author discusses the political and social structure of the Druze community, including their secretive hierarchy and their complex relationship with their Muslim and Christian neighbors. This book will appeal to scholars of religion, history, and anyone interested in exploring the hidden corners of human belief. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780428160623_0
