Islam: what place for the feminine in Sufism?

"Islam in the feminine", by Eric Geoffroy. Albin Michel editions

By: Eric Bataillon

The Sufi practice of Islam is taking new ways in Muslim practice today: women theologians, imames and even sheikhs of brotherhoods. The spiritual precellence of the feminine principle is not new, but has been present since the birth of religion, what the Islamologist Éric Geoffroy shows us in his latest book: "Allah in the feminine", published by Albin Michel.
