ajiss-1495	Tatari, Eren	Islam in Modern Turkey: An Intellectual Biography of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi by Shukran Vahide (Albany: State University of New York Press, 2005. 424 pages.)	2008.0	3	.pdf	application/pdf	810	28	44	Even though Nursi’s first and foremost mission was to present a new exegesis of the Qur’anic teachings based on the revival of faith by confirmation (tahqiq), the author focuses on the historical context of Nursi’s life and writings to such a degree that she disregards the importance of expounding upon the Risale-i Nur’s main message and Nursi’s unique contribution to the study of Islam. Islam in Modern Turkey pre- sents a clear picture of these aspects of Nursi’s personal journey in the face of historical developments taking place in Turkey and the world.	cache/ajiss-1495.pdf	txt/ajiss-1495.txt
