A Dialogue of Civilizations: Gulen's Islamic Ideals and Humanistic Discourse PDF Print E-mail

 This book is magnificently successful in demonstrating the compatibility of Western humanistic and the religious Islamic dialogue of Fethullah Gulen without removing from the sight the divine inspiration of the latter's thinking. In a Western world emotionally held intellectual hostage by "The War on Terror" and its assumption of Islamic culpability, it cuts to the contrary heart of the matter. The reader is left with the conclusion that Islam and the West are two civilizations whose core ideas can be the subject of a mutually informing intellectual dialogue."

"In this brilliant and timely book Dr. Jill Carroll describes effectively not only the need for dialogue, she also shows us the critical way forward. In the spirit of Rumi Dr. Jill Carroll invites all to come to the table to discuss the truth about ourselves and our world."

-- David B. Capes Houston Baptist University

"I feel quite comfortable recommending this book to others. It has sent me back to the writings of F. Gulen himself so that I may take in his message of peace and love."

--Richard Penaskovic, Auburn University
