Book Synopsis

Looks at Rumi''s insights into the meaning of the second half of the basic Muslim creed, namely, the nature and function of revelation through prophets.

All the King''s Falcons draws out Rumi''s distinctive and creative insights into Islamic religious culture by focusing on his treatment of prophets as instruments in God''s communication with humankind. But there is more to Rumi''s views of revelation than meets the eye, for he does not view the prophets, from Adam to Muhammad, merely as historic individuals who lived and died. Stories and images of the prophets provide this mystic and poet with a way of communicating his rich awareness of the reality of the divine message.
