Language of the Qur'an

“This is a rich, highly sophisticated, and well-written study of a variety of ways in which Turkish Muslims have engaged with the Qur’an since the early twentieth century… . As an anthropologist, Telliel approaches theography not through abstract theological argumentation, but instead through close attention to the practices and reflections of his interlocutors, such as acts of translation (broadly construed) and ‘evidenceseeking.’“—Alireza Doostdar, University of Chicago Divinity School
