The Druze and their Faith in Tawhid (Contemporary Issues in the Middle East)

My ongoing search for a spiritual perspective is enhanced in the reading of "The Druze and Their Faith in Tawhid," so much so that I will purchase copies of it for my loved ones who too are searching. As we age, our faith evolves and what better framework for this evolution than within the fabric of Obeid's revelations. He has given me yet another piece of the puzzle contributing to the other faiths: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Taoism, Shintoism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, etc. - none of which are absolute, all of which are relativistic.

This is definitely remarkable work and probably along with Sami Makarem's The Druze Faith, the most profound summary of the Druze and the Tawhid philosophy written in English. It is crucial that any member of the Druze diaspora who is fascinated by their origin and their faith have a copy of this book. I for one, am indebted to the author and commend him highly for his time and diligence in educating me on the Tawhid principles, the origins of the Druze, the onset of Islam and the many detailed issues and controversial questions that the faith and the community ask.

I'm sorry, but this book is terrible. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on it.It was as if I am reading a book in Mathematics or physics (no spirituality). Treating highly spiritual cultures needs 'some' spirituality and Love.For those who want to write books about Druze: Please leave the Druze matter to those who understand it (Objectively).
