4.0 out of 5 stars complex and difficult insight into Sheikh Ibn Arabi, 28 Jan 2001
By A Customer
heavy going, incoherent, but once read a couple of times, with constant reference to the Quran and Hadith an amazing book, broadening the readers horizon and deeper knoledge of Quranic content and Islam. The translator/ Editor I felt was a tad too critical of Ibn Al Arabi' explanations, ideas and philosophy - but tried hard to explain each chapter in the introduction. Best read firstly without reference to the editors introduction to the various chapters - all relating the 'wisdom' according to a particular prophet, ie. Jesus. Extensive quotes all gathered from Quran and 'sahih' Hadith and footnoted. A very profound book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Head Trippy Book, 2 Mar 2006
By Mr. Mh Elahi "mh_elahi" (Barking, East London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The nature of Ibn Arabi's work is best understood with a very deep knowledge of Sufism and it's core principles as well as the Quran and Hadith. A familiarity with paradoxes and paradoxical solutions is also advisable. In my opinion, Austin does a really good job in attempting to explain the core ideas preceding each chapter and Ibn Arabi just blows your mind after that. Personally, this book isn't for mass consumption, the ideas presented by Ibn Arabi shatters average conceptions about how we view the nature of God and delves into how we SHOULD be underestanding God in terms of analogous arguments and sensory experience.

Enlightening, frustrating and even drawing a giggle or two, this is a must-have book for those who want to break away from illusion and swim in the ocean of Reality.
