Visible Islam in Modern Turkey presents a rich panorama of Islamic practices in today's Turkey. The authors, one a Muslim and one a Christian, introduce readers to Turkish Islamic piety and observances. The book is also a model for Muslims, for it interprets the foundations of Islam to the modern mind and shows the relevance of Turkish Islamic practices to modern society. Packed with data and insights, it appeals to a variety of circles, both secular and traditional.

"...a useful, clearly written account of Islam in modern Turkey."

-MESA Bulletin, Glenn Yocum

"It is the authors' unique blend of scholarship, personal experience, and spirituality that give the book its lasting validity." - International Journal of Middle East Studies, Anna G. Edmonds
