Sufism is Islam's main mystical tradition. There are Sufi orders in almost all Muslim countries of the world, but not all Sufis accept the same beliefs and practices. In this book Julian Baldick examines the historical development of Sufi doctrine and practices over the fourteen centuries of Islam.
Julian Baldick was, until his retirement in 2007, Reader in the Study of Religions at King's College London. He is the author of Homer and the Indo-Europeans: Comparing Mythologies; Black God: The Afroasiatic Roots of Jewish, Christian and Muslim Religions; and Animal and Shaman: Ancient Religions of Central Asia (new edition, 2012), all published by I.B.Tauris.
