" One Of Six Books Of Questions ~ A Series Of Explanations by William Corlett & John Moore." religion. philosophy. medieval literature. medieval poetry. islam. qu'ran. sufism. attar. conference of the birds. ~ "0 my heart, if you wish to arrive at the beginning of understanding, walk carefully." With this quotation from The Conference of the Birds, William Corlett and John Moore begin their exploration of the Islamic experience~"the flight of the unknown to the unknown." But what is the message of Islam? How can we read and make pertinent for today the wisdom of the Sufis? What relevance does Islam have in our clamorous and diverse world? There are many such questions, but for everyone, young or not so young, the answers must be personal, as they are for the authors of this book, one of a series of six on great world religions. Here William Corlett and John Moore pose fundamental questions such as Why was I born? What is the purpose of my existence? Why this universe? What is it for? and examine the ways they are dealt with by the sacred writings of the Muslim faith. They inquire in an adventurous, involving but never dogmatic way. And their series has' already been greeted enthusiastically by The (London) Times Literary Supplement: "The authors have set themselves the important and difficult task of writing about the world's religions by working outwards from their own personal quest for meaning and spirituality, but leaving open any specific commitment.
