The Journal’s first decade established its distinctive voice. Beginning in 1989 with three inaugural issues and quickly settling into a steady quarterly rhythm, Sufi Journal combined the discourses of Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh with essays, interviews, narratives, and poetry that introduced readers to the Sufi path in a modern context. By the mid-1990s, with four issues appearing each year, the Journal had become a consistent forum where classical teachings and contemporary questions met. This first decade, spanning Issues 1–43, laid the foundation for all that would follow.
