Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Nineteenth-century Istanbul was an intellectual hub of rich discussions about Islam, in which leading reformists had a significant role. Turkey today appears to be an intellectual vacuum to anyone searching for ongoing critical engagement with Islam. The main purpose of this book is to adjust this view of Turkey by showcasing the modern Turkish theologians who challenge mainstream Sunni interpretations of Islam. Labelling these theologians as rationalist rather than reformist, the author reveals that their theology is inherently anti-establishment and thus a religiously-oriented challenge to the hegemony of the state-sanctioned Islam: for the rationalists, Turkeys problems have their origins in the Sunni interpretation of Islam. Contemporary Rationalist Islam in Turkey analyses nine prominent scholars of Islam who provide a religious opposition to the Sunni revival in Turkey: Hueseyin Atay, Yasar Nuri OEztuerk, M. Hayri Kirbasoglu, Ilhami Gueler, R. Ihsan Eliacik, OEmer OEzsoy, Mustafa OEztuerk, Israfil Balci, and Mehmet Azimli. These scholars writings are almost exclusively published in Turkish, so this book makes their ideas available in English for the first time. It also examines the scope, methodology and argumentation of the scholars theology, categorizing their theological interpretations from historicist to universalist and from empiricist to rationalist. In identifying a new rationalist school of Turkish theology and outlining its different manifestations, the book breaks new ground. It fills a significant gap in the literature on Islamic studies and reveals an understudied dimension of Turkey and Turkish Islam beyond the well-known ideas of the AKP and the Gulenists. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
