An easy read. Nicely taken with Massignon's "Hallaj"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This small book is a refreshing read that gives you some of Hallaj's ideas without having to sit down to a "meal" of dry scholastic material. This book does not have chronological life outlines or technical data, but it does show us a very digestable drama that brings us close to the man and his beliefs.
