Synopsis: A unique fruit of dialogical enterprise, Visible Islam in Modern Turkey looks with a new eye at the colourful spectrum of Islamic practices in contemporary Turkey. The authors, one a Muslim and one a Christian, introduce readers to the diversity of Turkish Islamic piety and observances. Their book is also a model for Muslims worldwide, for it interprets the foundations of Islam to the contemporary mind. Readers will be intrigued by the tensions involved in the confrontation of the traditional Islamic experience with modernizing, humanist, democratic, pluralist and secular movements within Turkey. The authors' perspective challenges both traditional and nationalist dogma, treating orthodox and folk religion in a non-apologetic, non-defensive, but critical manner. They also describe the frustrations posed by the nationalization of religion. Enriched with data and insights, this book appeals to a variety of circles, both secular and traditional, and offers a platform on which to have dialogue and reconciliation.
