Reviews

...a timely contribution to the study of one of the most prominent Islamic thinkers of the twentieth century. - American Journal of Islamic Studies This book is vitally important. Nursi was an authentic Muslim, which even the most conservative of Muslims would recognize. One finds in his writings a warmth and generosity of spirit that is worth celebrating and should be better known. - Ian S. Markham, author of A Theology of Engagement

This book is vitally important. Nursi was an authentic Muslim, which even the most conservative of Muslims would recognize. One finds in his writings a warmth and generosity of spirit that is worth celebrating and should be better known.
