So That Others May Live: A Fethullah Gulen Reader - Softcover

Fethullah Gulen is undoubtedly one of the most influential Muslim thinkers of our time. His work and writings have inspired a transnational civic movement that advocates for education, promotes intercultural and interfaith understanding, and delivers humanitarian aid and disaster relief. Originated in Turkey, this Hizmet or Gulen Movement is active in more than one hundred countries across the globe. So That Others May Live offers a definitive compilation of Gulen s characteristic essays. Some of them are available here in English for the first time. The rest have been carefully re-translated and edited, providing even familiar readers with new insight into Gulen s most remarkable writings on faith, morality, education, civic service, and modern civilization. Together, this selection functions as a valuable guide to the ethical impetuses of a global social movement one that has rooted itself in Gulen s signature synthesis of humanism and Islam."
