Visible Islam in Modern Turkey presents a rich panorama of Islamic practices in today's Turkey. The authors, one a Muslim and one a Christian, introduce readers to Turkish Islamic piety and observances. The book is also a model for Muslims, for it interprets the foundations of Islam to the modern mind and shows the relevance of Turkish Islamic practices to modern society. Packed with data and insights, it appeals to a variety of circles, both secular and traditional.
"This is a sensitive, landmark study of how Turkish Muslims today express their faith through a wide range of Islamic canonical and non-canonical worship or pious acts...outstanding, a rare contribution to learning and merits the widest possible readership." - Middle East Journal
"...a useful, clearly written account of Islam in modern Turkey."
-MESA Bulletin, Glenn Yocum
"It is the authors' unique blend of scholarship, personal experience, and spirituality that give the book its lasting validity." - International Journal of Middle East Studies, Anna G. Edmonds
