Pulpit, Mosque and Nation : Turkish Friday Sermons as Text and Ritual Hardback

Hardback

Description

Since the formation of the Republic in 1923, Friday sermons (hutbe) have been an important platform that allows the state to engage and communicate with the Turkish people.

Sermon topics vary from religious and ethical issues to matters concerning family, women, health, education, business and the environment.

Even if politics, in the name of secularism, has been banned from mosques and sermons, questions of how to be a good citizen and honour the Turkish nation have been of utmost importance.

With an all-pervading sermon theme of social, national and political unity, Elisabeth Ozdalga explores how long-standing religious rituals are utilised and mobilised in the formation of modern political loyalties and national identities.
