Druze: Why We Are Here

Many people ask how a person should live. Fewer ask why they are here. Druze: Why We Are Here is the second volume in the Druze Foundations Series. Drawing upon the teachings preserved in the Hikma, this book explores some of the deepest questions concerning the soul, truth, wisdom, reality and human purpose. Across twelve chapters, it examines themes such as recognition and veiling, truth and illusion, responsibility and accountability, the gradual unfolding of knowledge, and the journey of the soul toward understanding. Written in clear and accessible language, this book is intended for readers who wish to reflect more deeply upon the teachings of the Druze faith and better understand the questions that stand at the heart of human existence. Whether read alongside Druze: Faith and Covenant or on its own, this volume offers a thoughtful introduction to the themes of wisdom, reality and the purpose of life as presented through the teachings of the faith.
