Synopsis
This translation of Rumi's Fihi ma Fihi should easily become the standard English edition of this important collection of his discourses, conversations, and commentaries on various and sundry topics. In many cases the discussions preserved in this book provide the most sustained exposition available of Rumi's thought on a given topic.

Reviews
Rumi, a great 12th-century Islamic mystic, writer, and saint, should be better known to Westerners not only for the intrinsic value of his work but to counteract popular stereotypes of Islam. This translation of some of Rumi's sayings and conferences reads smoothly, revealing Rumi's profound sense of God's transcendence, unity, and beauty and of the human call to love God, forsake individuality, and grow. Students of Islam and comparative religious mysticism are probably the primary readership for this book, but practicing Muslims and religious seekers of other traditions (especially Jews and Christians) may be inspired by Rumi. Recommended for academic libraries and large public libraries.
