Shari`a in the Secular State (eBook, ePUB)

Evolving Meanings of Islamic Jurisprudence in Turkey

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores historical understandings of Shari`a within the context of religion and secularism in Turkey and then draws on empirical research to analyze Turkish understandings of Shari`a. The evidence presented here indicates that there is often a disconnect between supporting an adoption of Shari`a and supporting the regulation of everyday behavior through civil codes. It is a quintessential example of fractured and contextual meaning at the center of both religious and legal tradition.

This book is essential reading for both academics and those interested in law, linguistics, history, political science, anthropology, sociology, religious studies, and Near Eastern studies.
