Doctor in Sufism
March 10, 2015
Dr. Scattolin presented his new book, Ta’ammulāt fī al-taṣawwuf wa-l-ḥiwār al-dīnī (“Reflections on Sufism and interreligious dialogue”). In particular, he presented on the three levels of reading Sufi texts: 1) contextual, on the meaning of words in the text itself, 2) historical, on the meaning of the words in the other authors of the same period, and 3) meta-historical, on the meaning of the words in the reader’s experience.
