This book provides a unique style of teaching Islam from the Turkish experience. It contains thirteen chapters about different topics such as diversity, self and other, and jihad. The main concept of the book is “encounter” (taʻāruf in Arabic). It leads readers to communicate with their cultural background and theological foundations and build an appropriate relationship with themselves and others with respect. This is an important book for scholars who search for how to teach religion in a modern, secular, and democratic society through the eyes of a Muslim theologian and educator.
