However, there is a significant body of Muslim institutions in the country that transcends these divisions. Turkish theology faculties, for instance, have been engaged in the study of Islam from a theological perspective, focusing on its theological aspects rather than political ones. This book, featuring the work of Recep Alpyal and aban Ali Dzgn, offers a concise survey of Turkish Muslim positions on religious pluralism and atheism, as well as detailed treatments of both critical and appreciative Turkish Muslim perspectives on Western Christianity. By examining the responses of Turkish theologians to the Western intellectual tradition, the book provides a critical re-framing of the concept of modernity. It highlights the diversity and complexity of Muslim voices within the context of a largely Western and Christian modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 572g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 161 x 240 x 25 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474441537                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taraneh Wilkinson","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44096212173050,"sku":"9781474441537","price":88.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/7b0883b02bd3c65b4dde0fdc16c8cf0c.jpg?v=1624838923","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/dialectical-encounters-contemporary-turkish-muslim-thought-in-dialogue-1","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
