Lucinda Mosher, Albert Frolov, and their contributors embark on a multidisciplinary reading of Bediüzzaman Said Nursi's Risale-i Nur (The Epistles of Light).

Composed between 1910s and the 1950s, Nursi's Risale-i Nur transcends its historical context and remains a magnum opus within Islamic theology. The seventeen essays herein consider its teachings from a multi-disciplinary approach, querying how both 20th century and contemporary readers engage with this text. Together, Mosher, Frolov, and their contributors encourage and facilitate fresh exploration of Nursi's impact on religion, society, and global discourse. Such an approach illuminates the flexibility and enduring relevance of Nursi's writings and the adaptability of his methodology. Be they scholars of Islamic thought, practitioners of interfaith relations, students in the formal sense, or simply seekers of insights regarding the role of faith in the modern world, readers will find this edited volume intriguing and inspiring.
