Investigating Sufi-inspired spirituality in the modern world, this
interdisciplinary text combines cultural study with solid data to
provide a comprehensive look at how the teachings of Ibn 'Arabi
have been adopted and adapted by Muslims and non-Muslims. At the
heart of this movement is the Beshara School in Scotland, founded
in the 1960s, and now a center of international scholarship. Using
the school as a case study, the discussion describes its emergence
and evolution, its approach to spiritual education, the origins of
its spiritual teacher, its major teachings and practices, and its
projection of Ibn 'Arabi. Both rigorous and very timely, this
effort points to areas of cultural exchange between East and West
and highlights commonalities in the various historical changes both
societies have undergone.
