"This is by far the best available explanation of the central importance of sanctity for understanding both the practical and the theoretical teachings of Sufism." —William Chittick
"An extraordinarily good book about an extremely difficult thinker . . . Chodkiewicz not only knows the texts remarkably well, but also avoids and rejects certain errors of perspective common among other scholars." —The Times Literary Supplement Examines the doctrine, nature, and function of sainthood and delves into a typology of saints based on the notion of prophetic inheritance.
