Sufis and Saints' Bodies: Mysticism, Corporeality, and Sacred Power in Islam - Islamic Civilization and Muslim Networks New edition

Islam is often described as abstract, ascetic, and uniquely disengaged from the human body. Examining Sufi conceptions of the body in religious writings from the late fifteenth through the nineteenth century, this title demonstrates that literature from this era often treated saints' physical bodies as sites of sacred power.
