Description
Advance Praise
"Fethullah Gulen is arguably the most important living Muslim thinker in the world and this collection is a superb introduction to his thought and work. Those looking for so-called "moderate voice of Islam" need look no further."-Reza Aslan, author of No god but God
“ A superb collection of Fethullah Gulen’s most nuance and influential writings, So That Others May Live inspires readers, regardless of class or creed, to embrace the very best of human nature: respectfulness, compassion, tolerance, and forgiveness. It beautifully conveys the humanitarian message of Gulen, in the tradition of the great poet Rumi and scholar Nursi, and will continue to instill the spirit of social activism and civic engagement for generations to come.” – Ambassador Akbar Ahmed, Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies, American University, Washington, D.C.
“This extraordinary collection is a concise and truthful window into the thought of Fethullah Gulen, one of the leading Muslim thinkers of our day. Gulen’s discourse is at once intensely spiritual and modern, emerging from deep within traditional Islamic religious thought while managing to be remarkably current and open minded. These writings will confound all who come to them with preconceptions about religion and secularism, believers and skeptics, or tradition and modernity. After looking through this collection you better understand why Mr.Gulen has managed to motivate millions of traditional Muslims to engage in progressive social causes that strive to make this world a better place for all humanity.”-Rabbi Reuven Firestone, professor of Medieval Judaism and Islam, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion and University of Southern California, Los Angeles
