Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-25 00:00:00 Carol A Laws This is an absolutely essential introductory text in Sufism, presenting some of the crucial thinkers in the development of the earliest strata of Sufi thought. A good companion piece would be John Renard's _Knowledge of God in Classical Sufism_ and/or Ahmet Karamustapha's Sufism: The Formative Period.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-12-13 00:00:00 Brad Mcghee Sufism from the very early days was amazing...many of these masters were friends or revered by the early theologians and hadith masters of Islam (Imam Ahmad, Imam at-Tirmidhi). Good to read if you want to connect with the early history of islam.
