Abridged from the
four-volume The Passion of al-Hallaj, one of the major works of
Western orientalism, this book
explores the life and
teaching of a famous
tenth-century Sufi mystic and martyr, and in so doing describes not only his experience but also the whole milieu of early Islamic civilization. Louis Massignon (1883-1962), France's most celebrated Islamic specialist in this century and a leading Catholic intellectual, wrote of a man who was for him a personal inspiration.
