A unique fruit of interreligious dialogue

A case study of Islam in its traditional and secular forms

A handbook for those exploring Turkey and the Islamic heritage

An insight into the religious practices of Muslims in modern Turkey

A novel and comprehensive look at Islamic worship, both standard and non-orthodox

A way for Muslims to talk about their religious life in a modern idiom

A fresh treatment in English of classical Islamic expressions and ideas

A springboard for discussion, dialogue, and reflection

A way to reach across religious boundaries

A basic approach assuming no prior knowledge of Islam

Respectful of scholarship, yet simply written; critical, but not defensive

Our book touches on living issues, on persons caught up in current social and personal dramas, on actors in a major on-going religio-political story. This is therefore not a purely academic study, nor simply historical research, nor a dry listing of detached facts. The book has a rare challenging aspect, both to its subjects and to its readers.
