The importance and distinctiveness of teaching of Gulen and the practice of the movement is that it is rooted in a confident Turkish Islamic heritage while being fully engaged with modernity. It offers the possibility of a contextualised renewal of Islam for Muslims in the modern world while being fully rooted in the teachings of the Qu'ran and the Sunnah of the Prophet.

The Globotics Upheaval
"Digital technology will bring globalisation and robotics (globotics) to previously shielded professional and service sectors.

Researches in Economics, Econometrics & Finance
As the outcome of the tenth international congress (Current Debates in Social Sciences), the papers in this volume cover a wide range of topics related to the main theme of the conference, titled “Current Debates in Social Sciences”, and basically focus on economics, finance and econometrics. Even though most of the papers deal with the empirical analysis on economics and finance, there are also studies on econometrics analysis. In this context, the articles in the book draw attention to the different aspects of economics, finance and econometrics such as game theory, Fin- Tech, financial deepening, financial literacy, debt level of credit card of younger generation and case studies, the relationship between Turkey technology index and other World technology index, carbon emission rate and economic growth, the effects of capital inflows on economic growth, work engagement, loneliness at work and stress, measure and compare the performance of Type-A mutual funds in Turkey. We believe that these studies would contribute to the development of debates in social sciences and encourage interdisciplinary approaches.

Gog and Magog in Early Eastern Christian and Islamic Sources
Alexander's alleged Wall against Gog and Magog, often connected with the enclosure of the apocalyptic people, was a widespread theme among Syriac Christians in Mesopotamia. In the ninth century Sallam the Interpreter dictated an account of his search for the barrier to the Arab geographer Ibn Khurradadhbih. The reliability of Sallam's journey from Samarra to Western China and back (842-45), however, has always been a highly contested issue. Van Donzel and Schmidt consider the travel account as historical. This volume presents a translation of the source while at the same time it carefully looks into other Eastern Christian and Muslim traditions of the famous lore. A comprehensive survey reconstructs the political and topographical data. As so many other examples, also this story pays witness to the influence of the Syriac Christian tradition on Koran and Muslim Traditions.

This groundbreaking work focuses on and explains the nexus of complex historical and political developments that have contributed to the transformation of Islam in Tukey and to the movement's sphere of influence stretching into the Balkans and central Asia through the establishment of schools outside Turkey. The book cogently traces the origin of Gülen's ideology and his early efforts to propagate his views through educational activities. It details the various strategies employed by Gülen's followers to put his ideas into practice, both in Turkey and around the world. Contributors describe its intellectual and religious formation, its spread across Turkey and Central Asia, and its influence on citizens outside the movement, including leading Turkish politicians.
