The Death of Al-Hallaj by Herbert Mason
Publisher (English): Notre Dame University Press, 102 pp.
Available at Amazon.com
Also available at Notre Dame University Press

This small book is a refreshing read that gives you some of Hallaj's ideas without having to sit down to a "meal" of dry scholastic material. This book does not have chronological life outlines or technical data, but it does show us a very digestible drama that brings us close to the man and his beliefs. (Amazon.com)

"Highly recommended, Mason's preface is a fine introduction to the renowned Muslim mystic and the dramatic narrative that follows." ~ Choice.

"Mason's poetic style lends itself well to the telling of such a powerful tale." ~ Library Journal.
