"Mystical Crossroads: Sufi-Christian Encounters in Medieval Andalusia and their Spiritual Legacy"
The Theacher's Forum 21 (2025), pp. 1006-1023.
This paper explores the profound spiritual legacy of Sufi-Christian encounters in medieval Andalusia, a unique cultural landscape where Muslims, Christians, and Jews coexisted and engaged in rich intellectual and spiritual exchanges from the 8th to the 15th centuries. It aims at highlighting the ways in which these interactions fostered a distinctive form of mysticism that transcended religious boundaries, emphasizing shared metaphors, contemplative practices, and the universal quest for divine union. Methodologically, the study employs historical analysis and comparative mysticism, examining key figures such as Ibn Arabi, Al-Shushtari, St. John of the Cross, and Ramon Llull, whose works illustrate the synthesis of Sufi and Christian mystical traditions. Findings reveal that these encounters not only enriched both traditions but also laid the groundwork for contemporary interfaith dialogue, showcasing the transformative power of divine love and the potential for meaningful exchanges across faiths. The legacy of these mystical dialogues continues to inform modern spiritual practices and interfaith initiatives, underscoring the importance of recognizing shared humanity in the pursuit of divine understanding.
