""Return to the Eternal Abode is an engaging and even joyful exploration of Sufism, delving into the topics of cosmology and poetry—and unraveling the intricate connections between them. The book welcomes readers with or without expertise, requiring little more than a genuine sense of curiosity and a belief in philosophy's original promise to reveal the most fundamental truths of human existence."" — Cyrus Ali Zargar, University of Central Florida, author of Religion of Love Sufism and Self-Transformation in the Poetic Imagination of ʿAṭṭār ""These dialogues offer accessible, clear explanations of some rather subtle issues within Sufism, ranging from the relationship between different cultures and forms or styles of Islamic art, to Greek philosophy and Islam, and the relationship between imagination and cosmology. The conversational style is exceptionally readable, and functions to make subjects that are otherwise dense or difficult relatively easy to understand."" — William Rory Dickson, University of Winnipeg, author of Living Sufism in North America Between Tradition and Transformation
