Publisher's Description
In this collection of thirteen faith-biographies of literary and religious individuals from Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Indian beliefs, Kenneth Cragg, widely acknowledged as the premier Western Islamicist in the world, tells these stories in ways that emphasize the importance of religious tolerance and respect for others. All these figures stand "in the presence of mystery" and their stories illuminate that sacred experience.
Endorsements (1)
“Fine enigmatic prose . . . Kenneth Cragg has a way of bringing out the significant in any item that he touches, and to watch him probe for the significant in human lives is a genuinely edifying as well as illuminating experience. I am always moved to a fresh level of consideration by his probings, and that invitation is especially rewarding when the subject is the lives of those who have managed to cross over what are for others quite formidable barriers.”
