Reviews

Given the current uncertainty in the Middle East, the book provides much needed perspectives on the relatively unknown, peaceable but not quietist, radical but not radicalized, and ecumenically-minded renewal movement among Muslims that nuances both the Orientalist and terrorist narratives so common in the Western media... [illuminates] an important new reli- gious movement in Turkish society. * Nova Religio *
