This is the first full introduction written for a general audience
to the life and teachings of Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240), regarded as
the greatest mystical thinker in the history of Islam and known in
the Islamic world as al-Shaykh al-Akbar (the Greatest Master).
White Cloud Press, in a joint publishing effort with Anqa
Publishing in the United Kingdom, presents the first in a series of
books on the life and teachings of Ibn 'Arabi. Relatively unknown
in the West until the 20th century, he has been revered by Sufi
mystics ever since he first burst upon the Islamic world at the
turn of the 13th century. He wrote over 350 books and treatises
that are recognized as classics of world spirituality.
The Unlimited Mercifier is a new appreciation of Ibn 'Arabi,
clarifying the meanings and relevance of his life and thought. It
serves as a thorough introduction for those new to his work, as
well as providing food for contemplation and further study for
those already familiar with his genius.
Divided into five sections, the book consists of seventeen
alternating chapters of biography and thought. The biographical
chapters chart the historical trajectory of his life, using his own
descriptions as well as the latest research, and are richly
illustrated with photographs and maps. Every second chapter
discusses a facet of his thought, demonstrating Ibn 'Arabi's
immediate relevance to our modern era.
