Jesus in the Eyes of The Sufis

Dr. Nurbakhsh presents here a wealth of stories and poems about Jesus, many of which are translated into English for the first time from the original Arabic and Persian Sufi sources in this second edition.
They represent the profound reverence that Sufis for centuries have felt for Jesus, regarding him as a symbol of love and the perfect master.
The enthusiastic attitude towards Jesus extended to Christianity in general, major symbols of which are frequently used by poets such as Hafiz and Rumi, and this book explains for the first time the inner meanings of these Christian symbols as they appear in Sufi mystical writings.
By explaining the importance of Jesus in the Sufi tradition, this book at the same time highlights the centrality of love and compassion for Sufis.

The main sections of this book are: 1.The Sayings of Jesus 2. God's Words to Jesus 3. Jesus Prayer 4. Poetry about the qualities of Jesus 5. Forty Stories about Jesus 6. Mystical Theories about Jesus 7. Jesus and the Antichrist 8. Symbolic Uses of the Name Jesus 9. Glossary of Sufi Terms relating to Christianity.
