These lectures will explore the nature of mysticism, the Islamic background to Sufism, and its interactions with the Christians of the Middle East. They will look at how Western and Islamic scholarship has assessed this relationship, and they will focus on the thought of particular Sufis, as well as on the Sufi orders and their organization.

In-person attendance is restricted to 18. The talks will, however, be live-streamed via MS Teams.
