The Druze & their faith in Tawhid

the long version

"As a small sect that emerged from Islam more than a thousand years ago, the Druze have long sought to protect their religion and society through a tradition of secrecy. This secrecy, however, has left the Druze faith vulnerable to distortion, misunderstanding, and misrepresentation. In this book Dr. Anis Obeid, a Druze layman impelled by his desire to "explore [his] religious heritage" and attain "a clear view of the basic tenets of [his] faith," provides an analysis of Druze scriptures and beliefs (Tawhid). Presenting a chronological narrative of the foundation and development of the faith, he explains the historical conditions and religious rationale behind this closed religion."--Jacket.
