The second decade of Sufi Journal deepened its international reach while continuing to feature the discourses of Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh. Through the early 2000s, the Journal maintained a steady quarterly pace, publishing essays, narratives, interviews, and poetry that carried Sufi philosophy into a rapidly changing world. By 2007, the rhythm began to shift—three issues appeared that year, followed by just one in 2008 and two in 2009—marking the end of the quarterly model and the beginning of a new publishing cadence. Two landmark editions framed this transition: Issue 75 (Summer 2008), the Twenty Year Anniversary Issue, which gathered and republished many of the Journal’s most influential discourses, essays, narratives, and poems from its first twenty years; and Issue 76 (Winter 2008 / Spring 2009), a special commemorative edition honoring the life and teachings of Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh. This decade, spanning Issues 44–77, reflects both the maturity of the Journal’s voice and the threshold of transition to a new generation of discourses.
