This remarkable collection gathers a breathtakingly diverse
selection of primary texts from the vast repertoire of Islamic
stories about holy men and women - also known as Friends of God -
who were exemplary for their piety, intimacy with God, and service
to their fellow human beings. Translated from seventeen languages
by more than two dozen scholars of Islamic studies, these texts
come from the Middle East, North and sub-Saharan Africa, Central
and South Asia, and China and Southeast Asia. Historically, they
begin with the eighth century and include samples from medieval,
early modern, and modern Muslim societies. Expertly edited and
introduced by John Renard, "Tales of God's Friends" serves as a
companion volume to "Renard's Friends of God: Islamic Images of
Piety, Commitment, and Servanthood".
