FPRI E-Notes: Theodore Friend, 'Abdurrahman Wahid, the Indonesian Republic, and Dynamics in Islam' (Jan 2010)

Theodore Friend's obituary essay on Abdurrahman Wahid (FPRI E-Notes, January 2010); cited for its characterisation of Wahid's own Sufism. Friend reconstructs an Indonesian aphorism around him — 'Santri pursuing order in office, Sufi sage and mystic out of office' — and writes that his life and career 'contain abundant clues for anyone who would understand modern Sufism'.
