Ursinus College

Subject:

Description:

Dr. von Schlegell Sufism (Islamic Mysticism) manifests itself in multiple forms. But all Sufis share having an intense love of God and doing mystical practices. Scholars have assumed that mystics and religious legal authorities are in constant battle. We will reconsider this idea. Today in some countries Sufism is considered a serious threat. Why? Readings center on Sufi understandings of the nature of the divine, miracles, dreams, and the spiritual meanings of sex and death. Three hours per week. Four semester hours. (H, G.)
