"This is one of the first academic books about Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish scholar
and preacher, and the civic movement he inspired in Turkey and ultimately throughout
the world. The movement is rooted in moderate Islam and is committed to educating
youth, fostering interfaith and intercultural dialog, assisting the needy in society
and contributing to global peace. Based on interview data and visits to Gulen-inspired
institutions, the book describes the movement from a sociological perspective, especially
through the lens of social movement theory. It is the first book, grounded in empirical
methodology, to describe the movement to a Western audience. It will be of special
interest to social scientists interested in religious movements, religious scholars
seeking information on Islamic movements and the general public eager to discover
a moderate Islam that promotes humanitarian projects."--Jaquette
