Jonathan Berkey's book illuminates the popular culture of religious storytelling. It draws on chronicles, biographical dictionaries, sermons, and tales, but especially on a number of medieval treatises critical of popular preachers, and also on a vigorous defense of them that emerged in fourteenth-century Egyptian Sufi circles."--JacketPublications on the Near East, University of Washington.Islamic preachingStorytellingReligious aspectsIslamIslamic civilizationIslamic preaching.StorytellingReligious aspectsIslam.Islamic civilization.297.3/7/0902Berkey Jonathan Porter564689MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813875303321Popular preaching and religious authority in the medieval Islamic Near East4034447UNINA
