Description
Book SynopsisExamines Hizmet, a Turkey-based but global movement dedicated to human service. This book represents a variety of disciplines, faiths, and nations and offer a wide range of narratives, analyses, and critiques.
Trade Review"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 *
