Paths to the Heart: Sufism and the Christian East is an interesting book – a compilation of presentations from a conference held shortly after 9/11 where a group of people met to discuss similarities of the religious views between the Christian East (i.e.., Eastern Orthodox) and Sufi Muslim.
I am about half-way through this book. What emerges in this book is engaging observations about the contemplative aspects shared by Eastern Orthodox and Sufi Islam. For anyone interested in the contemplative aspects of Eastern Orthodox, Sufi Islam, or both….. Paths to the Heart: Sufism and the Christian East is a worthwhile read – a book that one doesn’t want to put down; rather, it’s a book to be savored and read again.
