The Story behind the Book: Introductory Lectures on Religious Philosophy (Sabzevary)

Image
  Today's back story is about the book,  Introductory Lectures on Religious Philosophy,  by Dr. Amir Sabsevary. From the publisher: A colleague of the author, a distinguished dean at a distinguished university but not (yet) highly published, brought to us a collection of the author's lecture notes, asking if they were publishable, especially given that the author was not a native speaker of English or writer of texts in a format expected by American readers. The answer: yes, with some editing. We put one of our best copyeditors to the task, a professor of English with a background in spiritual topics. Together, author and copyeditor worked through the book -- and, upon launch, it became one of our bestsellers. The author has since self-published (with our encouragement) two other books .
