The Gulen, or Hizmet, movement in Turkey was until recently the country's most powerful and affluent religious organisation. At its head is the exiled Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen, who leads from a gated compound in the Pocono Mountains of the USA.The movement's central tenet is that Muslims should engage positively with modernity, especially through mastering the sciences. At hundreds of Gulen-run schools and universities, not only in Turkey but also worldwide and particularly in the United States, instructors have cultivated the next generation of Muslim bankers, biologists, software engineers and entrepreneurs. In this groundbreaking study, Caroline Tee, an expert on the Gulen Movement, analyses the complex attitudes of Gulen and his followers towards secular modernity. Considered against the backdrop of Turkish politics, Gulenist engagement with modern science is revealed as a key source of the influence the movement has exerted."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aIslam and science$zTurkey$xHistory 606 $aIslam and social problems$zTurkey 606 $2Religious & theocratic ideologies 615 0$aIslam and science$xHistory. 615 0$aIslam and social problems 676 $a297.092 700 $aTee$b Caroline$01024701 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154875803321 996 $aThe Gu?len movement in Turkey$92435594 997 $aUNINA
