“The Druze Faith” book by Sami Makarem – paperback in English (out of stock)

Description

The Druze Faith by Sami Nasib Makarem, paperback limited edition is the most demanded book on the Druze faith in the English language. The hardcover has been out of print for decades, and this paperback is almost out of stock completely with no ability to reorder.

This history-making book, written at the request of the Shaykh al-Aql, spiritual leader of the Druzes, and the American Druze Society, for the first time lifts the official veil of secrecy surrounding this esoteric religion. In a scholarly work, Professor Makarem, himself a Druze, uses medieval manuscript sources still under the seal of secrecy to trace the history, beliefs, and customs of this commonly misunderstood religious faith from its origins in the eleventh century A.D. under the Fatimid caliphs of Egypt.
