JESUS THE SUFI.: The Lost Dimension of Christianity
Bath: 2007. First edition. 123 pages. Item #13494
Paperback in new condition.
Jesus is seen as representative of an ancient and continuing wisdom tradition, clearly identified with that of the Sufis. By his distinctive use of stories for teaching purposes, his sayings and what the Sufis call 'action-teachings', including those actions known as miracles, Jesus is shown to have been quintessentially a Sufi master. Max Gorman shows how Sufism illuminates from within concepts central to Christianity: 'the kingdom of Heaven', 'son of God', 'baptism', 'resurrection' - which can then be seen as states and stages in an evolutionary process. Includes some passing references to Gurdjieff.
