Critics Review
Ottoman Sunnism offers a wide and rich range of perspectives on the nature of Ottoman Sunni Islam and the Ottoman confession building projects from the fifteenth through the nineteenth centuries. The different views and approaches will provoke discussions among scholars of Islam in the Ottoman Empire and well beyond. * Guy Burak, New York University *
Overall, this volume is strongly written and well-constructed, with a forceful message. Totally fascinating, Ottoman Sunnism: New Perspectives is a magnificent achievement that must be considered a work of high academic art created by researchers of obviously commanding talents, judgement, balance and moral vision. – Abdullah Drury, University of Waikato * The Muslim World Book Review, 42:3, 2022 *
