reviewed Logos and Revelation: Ibn 'Arabi, Meister Eckhart, and Mystical Hermeneutics on March 30, 2015 Logos and Revelation: Ibn 'Arabi, Meister Eckhart, and Mystical Hermeneutics
I would recommend this book only to those with an interest in the history of Islam and/or spiritual exploration in America. As the author points out this book is not in any sense a translation, but rather his meditations gleaned from various translations published up to the early 80's ( The book took something like eight years to publish.) Hixon's introduction is quite good in discussing his own pull towards the Sufi path and relationship with his spiritual guide. His meditation is at its best, in the final juz (section) of the Qur'an where he really brings out the poetic essence of the text. Aside on that, it feels like one of those "selections from [insert religious holy book here]" where the author picks a particular theme; copies passages about the theme, and ignores the rest of the text and context. If you want to learn about Islam read Omid Safi's "Memories of Muhammad" if you want to learn about the thoughts of a (rather extraordinary) spiritual seeker of the late 20th century, read this book.
