In "Islam, Christianity and the Mystic Journey," Ian Richard Netton clears misconceptions and highlights comparisons in the thought and lives of six key mystics: Al-Kalabadhi, Al-Daylami, Al-Qushayri, Julian of Norwich, Thomas A. Kempis and Theresa of Avila. By considering these figures from both Eastern and Western mystical traditions, Netton delves into their thematic differences and similarities, the ways of Perfection on the Mystic Path, and asks in what ways these figures have represented the mystic journey.

Rezension zu „Islam, Christianity and the Mystic Journey “
This innovative book explores the ways of self-abandonment and union with the Divine. It compares the perceptions of renowned Christian and Muslim mystics, relating their self-abnegating insights through common motifs, and repeatedly returning to the mysterious Qur'anic figure of al-Khi?r and the colour green he embodies. It challenges the boundaries of single religious traditions, and with striking originality it discloses the quest for union with God as the basis and climax of the highest human endeavour. -- Professor David Thomas, the University of Birmingham This innovative book explores the ways of self-abandonment and union with the Divine.
