This contribution to the global history of ideas uses biographical profiles of 18th-century contemporaries to find what Salafist and Sufi Islam, Evangelical Protestant and Jansenist Catholic Christianity, and Hasidic Judaism have in common. Such figures include Muḥammad Ibn abd al-Waḥhab, Count Nikolaus Zinzendorf, Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Israel Ba’al Shem Tov. The book is a unique and comprehensive study of the conflicted relationship between the “evangelical” movements in all three Abrahamic religions and the ideas of the Enlightenment and Counter-Enlightenment. Centered on the 18th century, the book reaches back to the third century for precedents and context, and forward to the 21st for the legacy of these movements. This text appeals to students and researchers in many fields, including Philosophy and Religion, their histories, and World History, while also appealing to the interested lay reader.

SUFI MEN is a collection of more than 160 biographies of Sufi men from the past eleven centuries, written to complement Dr Javad Nurbakhsh's previously much-acclaimed Sufi Women. This biography collection genre is best known in English through the example of The Memorial of the Saints, which was compiled by the Sufi author Fariduddin Attar in the early thirteenth century. However, Dr Nurbakhsh, the most recent exponent of Persian Sufism and Sufi literature in all its genres, offers here his own selection of Sufis from the eighth to the nineteenth century, with the most significant biographical material related to them. It, therefore, contains many anecdotes, poems and aphorisms which are translated here from the original Arabic and Persian into English for the first time. In addition to the celebrated early figures, SUFI MEN includes biographies of well-known masters, such as Rumi, Ibn Arabi, Shabistari, Amir Khusraw, Shah Nimatullah and Jami.
THE GREAT SATAN ELBIS presents both favorable and unfavorable interpretations of Satan, from the Sufi point of view that Satan does not exist as a power before God but as a symbol for the ego and its passions.
