Hallaj: Poems of a Sufi Martyr
Book •
Hallaj: Poems of a Sufi Martyr, translated by Carl W. Ernst, gathers the passionate and often controversial utterances and poetry attributed to Mansur al‑Hallaj, whose ecstatic proclamations culminated in execution.
The collection provides readers with direct access to the devotional intensity and risky theological language that characterized Hallaj's thought.
Ernst's translations and commentary situate Hallaj historically and explain the theological stakes of his expressions of union with the divine.
The volume highlights themes of annihilation, divine love, and the paradoxes of mystical speech.
It serves as both a literary and scholarly resource for understanding one of Sufism's most provocative figures.
