Imaginal Worlds - Ibn Arabi and the Problem of Religious Diversity

This work is truly unique in the sense that it explains the doctrines of the greatest Sufi of all ages - Ibn Arabi. By delving deep into the meanings of his doctrines, Professor Chittick explains to us of how through Ibn Arabi's perspective all religions cam be seen to stem from the Divine Essence. By reading this book I came to understand how Ibn Arabi discovered the Unity of the One through the path of earthly diversity - well worth a read.
