Exploring the profound impact of science and technology on the
world, this argument seeks to prove that science has repercussions
on contemporary spiritual life. Max Planck, Walter Benjamin, and
Albert Einstein join ancient and medieval thinkers alike to inform
the thrust of his argument. A person's place in the world depends
upon redressing the balance, and these essays offer a stimulating
new look at how to balance two such important aspects of life.

In 1244 a man wrapped in a coarse black coat entered Konya and so
into the life of Islam' s most celebrated poet and mystic: Mevlana
Jalaluddin Rumi. A wanderer and spiritual vagabond, Shams of Tabriz
proceeded to wrestle with Rumi's soul. What he wanted from his
protege was for him to embody a wilder, more robust spirituality
that would enable him to embrace life' s rawness more completely
than any saint had done in the past. Warriors of Love gives a fresh
interpretation of a selection of 49 poems that were written by Rumi
as metaphors for his love of God as well as his friend Shams, the
Wild One. This essential volume also includes a comprehensive
introduction on the life and times of Rumi and his friendship with
Shams, the historical facts of their encounter, Sufism, the Mevlevi
Order of Dervishes, the new dimension that Shams brought to Islamic
spirituality and the importance of friendship as a true path to
God.
