| Fethullah GÃ"len is a leading figure in the current Turkish socio-political context. Regardless of the impression different circles have about him, he is universally acknowledged as an accomplished scholar and independent thinker who has had a life in tears dreaming of a golden generation, but also a life spent in persecution and ongoing trials. This book goes beyond the current controversy around his name, and tries to explore GÃ"len as a scholar around his certain personal traits and some of the key concepts he has been emphasising over the years to mobilise his audience. Based on a research that covers over seventy books, 564 sermons, over 500 talks by GÃ"len, more than fifty interviews of his close associates and friends aired on TV networks, and the authors personal observations, this book is a useful reference for those who study scholarly traditions of Islam in general and Fethullah GÃ"len in particular. |
